WEBINAR | Elevating allergen management in African food sectors

A practical session on allergen risk and control

Allergen management is a complex and often misunderstood area of food safety.

Across Africa, regulatory frameworks for food allergens are still evolving, while global customers and export markets have clear expectations around allergen control. As a result, many food businesses are required to interpret and apply allergen management practices within their own operational context.

FACTS has been at the forefront of allergen management in South Africa for more than two decades, developing services that support a comprehensive and practical approach to managing allergen risk.

This free 2-hour webinar is designed to provide a clear and accessible introduction to allergen management. Learn practical, production-ready strategies and get insight from our experts on how to meet rising compliance expectations and prepare for regional and global markets.

• Build a clear understanding of allergen risk
