Allergens in food

The number of people with a genuine food allergy is significant - it is now believed to be as many as 1-2% of adults and 5-8% of children - and for these the presence of allergens in food can be a real problem.

Avoidance of foods containing allergens is the only reliable way that the individuals affected can prevent an allergic reaction. Therefore, it is vital that these people can rely on the food industry to provide them with food that is safe for them to eat.

At Campden BRI, we can help in many ways, with services and advice on:

• food allergen testing
• food allergen management (in both manufacturing and food service settings)
• cleaning procedures
• food allergen labelling and legislation
• Publications and books
• Training courses and events
