What is Allergen Management and Control?
Food allergens can pose a significant health risk to the consumer. The spectrum of food allergens has expanded over the past decade with an increasing population presenting with food intolerance and allergic reaction. Allergens can contaminate food product and the production environment at any stage from preparation to storage and/or distribution and hence the food chain.
This module will examine the classification of allergens in food, the physiological effects of allergens in the body and the spectrum of response, the legislation and control measures that should be taken to protect the consumer, identification of allergens in foods and the development of products formulated with specific dietary requirement, and with product development that considers more sustainable non-allergenic ingredients.
