As the Australasian food industry continues to grapple with the requirements to label the presence of the key allergens, there have been 5 allergen-related recalls in the past 2 months (August/September 2006).

This included 2 products labelled as gluten-free that were found to contain detectable levels of gluten.  Other recalls related to the unlabeled presence of peanut, sesame and milk. For free advice on a range of allergen management issues, please contact us.
