Protect consumers, your brand and your bottom line. Food Manufacture’s annual Food Safety Briefing returns – this time focused on one of the industry’s most pressing challenges, managing allergen risk.
Around the world, those with food hypersensitivities rely on food producers to ensure the food and drink they consume is safe. In the UK alone, as many as 2.4 million adults have a food allergy.
While the efforts of the UK food industry are outstanding, allergen contamination remains a big issue. In 2024/2025, allergens were the second most common type of incident the Food Standards Agency was notified about, with 264 recorded. Among these was the notable peanut-mustard event, which impacted 303 products across 56 brands.
