MASTERCLASS | Allergen raw material risk assessment

Predicting, preventing and managing raw material risks​

2027

Accurate allergen labelling starts with knowing which allergens are in your raw materials. Raw material risk assessment is central to effective allergen management.

This masterclass covers raw material risk assessment, the effect of agricultural allergen cross-contact, how to compile and assess product and supplier questionnaires, and how to interpret allergen risk data. A portion of the proceeds from this masterclass supports the Allergen Bureau and the development of the VITAL® Program.
