FDA seeks public comment on setting thresholds for the big eight food allergens

Zoom in font  Zoom out font Published: 2012-12-14  Authour: Elaine WATSON  Views: 25
Core Tip: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set up a Federal Register Docket requesting data and other information to determine whether it can establish threshold levels for the 'big eight' major food allergens.
Currently, food and beverage manufacturers are required to declare the presence of eight major food allergens on pack in the US: Milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts and soybeans, which account for 90% of food allergies.

However, clearly defined thresholds for the unintentional presence of these allergens would provide firms with action levels to work to, plus defined levels for enforcement, says the agency.
