This allergen management seminar will discuss the management of allergens within food manufacturing and means of control through risk assessment and analytical techniques.

Consumers have been impacted by unannounced, undeclared, and mislabelled allergenic contamination of food products produced to satisfy their needs. Food service and manufacturing industries live in fear of a consumer complaining of anaphylaxis. The food industry can mitigate such contamination through the deployment of risk assessment to understand how colleagues can organise, manage, and trained in food production. There are various analytical methods that used to monitor, verify, and validate the effectiveness of the mitigations and controls deployed during the processing of a food product.

What participants will learn:

  • The use of risk assessment techniques to manage - mitigate allergens in the manufacture of food. 
  • Demonstration and use of analytical techniques for detection of allergens within factory and laboratory environments.

Target Audience:

Students, Academic, Technologists, Food Scientists, Technical Managers, Laboratory Managers, Directors and Business Owners
