New Membership Year!

The new Allergen Bureau membership year commenced on Tuesday 1 April 2008, so now is a great time to Join Us! Being a Member of the Allergen Bureau can save you time and money in addressing food allergen issues in a professional way. It can also help you demonstrate your commitment and proactive approach to your staff, suppliers, customers and regulatory authorities.

Information on the benefits of Allergen Bureau membership, including the Full and Associate Membership options, can be found on the Our Members page of the Allergen Bureau website.

As we gain new Members, we are able to expand our Member services, including our role as industry advocate in matters relating to food allergens. Increasingly, we are being approached by State and national food policy agencies and regulators for input, and your continued support allows us to provide this on your behalf. This issue of eNews features a summary of two such submissions we have made recently.

Please note that nominations and votes for the Allergen Bureau Management Committee can only be accepted from Full Members who have signed up for membership by Wednesday 30 April 2008, so we encourage you to renew your membership or Join Us today!
