WEBINAR | What is the VITAL® Program?
Taking allergen management to the NEXT LEVEL
The Allergen Bureau’s VITAL® (Voluntary Incidental Trace Allergen Labelling) Program is a standardised allergen risk-assessment process for the food industry.
The Allergen Bureau is one of the most prominent industry bodies representing food industry allergen management, developed for industry by industry. The Allergen Bureau’s vision is to lead the global food industry in best-practice allergen management, sharing information that builds trust and transparency to help allergen-sensitive consumers make informed choices.
Carrying out a VITAL® risk assessment using the VITAL® tools – including VITAL® Online – assists a food company to thoroughly review the allergen status of all the ingredients they use, and the processing conditions that contribute to the allergen status of the finished product.
The objective of the VITAL® Program is to provide a risk-based methodology for food manufacturers to use in assessing the impact of allergen cross-contact, and in creating appropriate precautionary allergen labelling (PAL).
In the webinar, we unpack:
