FSA rates their food allergy research program

The UK Food Allergy and Intolerance Research Program (T07) has been branded a success by the Food Standards Agency who funded the program. At their five-year review of the program which took place in February 2008, the FSA maintained the program had directly influenced their policy concerning allergies, which had in turn informed manufacturers and heightened the level of consumer protection.

The 93-page review of the program has recently been published, and will be reported on in more detail in the November issue of the Allergen Bureau eNews.
