Food Allergy task force

Position your company on cutting-edge scientific topics. Join companies, academics and public authorities to work on fostering an international evidence-based consensus on how to assess the risk from allergenic foods. Once identified the agreed method, the Task Force envisage developing tools to help manage the risks and protect all consumers. Ongoing activities are focused on: - Allergen Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) and more specifically the development and integration of methodology to link emerging tools with risk management actions across the supply chain. Precautionary labelling is a topic of specific attention. A Community of Practice (CoP) and a user-friendly guideline aim to assist various stakeholders in implementing QRA. - Defining barriers and levers for the effective regulation of Precautonary Allergen Labelling (PAL): the primary objective is to identify gaps that hinder the effective regulation of PAL and determine them necessary actions to address them. The ultimate goal is to establish a more uniform approach to PAL-related decisions. In the Pipeline is an activity related to free-from claims (e.g., gluten-free, peanut-free): the activity will explore how such claims are used, verified, and interpreted across jurisdictions, and how they relate to risk management practices and consumer trust.
