Overview of the webinar

A very small amount of some allergens such as nuts can cause adverse reactions, including potentially fatal anaphylactic shock. Consequently, under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) greater emphasis is placed on allergen management. The food industry must focus on this issue to avoid food recalls due to undeclared allergen and cross contamination.

By identifying the areas of failure they can strive to develop robust strategies that will effectively bring about the control of allergens in the manufacturing environment.
