The new allergen labelling laws come into force on 13 December this year. For the first time, the allergen ingredients in food sold loose (I.e. unpackaged) must be documented and made available to customers.
safefood has organised a seminar that will address the new legislative requirements and how to comply with them. The basis for these legislative changes will also be discussed.
