Webinar: Food Allergen Risk management: Breaching the Gap
Topics:
- Severe allergic reactions and anaphylaxis – available data for frequency and source or place of reaction (packaged food, catering, take-away food, home cooking, private parties)
- Methods of analysis: power and reliability in food allergen risk management decision-making
- Challenges in the various food business sectors (food manufacturing, restaurants, catering) and the efficacy of food allergen risk management: best practices and biggest challenges according to auditors
Panel discussion and possible conclusions: Where are the gaps? Where should future efforts focus? Are better regulations (thresholds) the answer? Can food businesses improve their risk management? Are more sensitive/reliable methods of analysis the key? Should small food business workers be trained better? What do consumers need to know?
