Allergen cross-contact and unintended allergen presence (UAP) are a significant challenge for food operators.


The aim of this document is to translate the findings of the Expert Group on 'Food Allergen Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA)' into a Guidance document which provides tools and approaches to help harmonize the data gathering process for food allergen risk assessments and therefore aid with their implementation. This Guidance aims to promote consistency in documentation, decision making and the application of allergen QRA.


The purpose of this Guidance is not to take an allergen labelling or risk management decision for the user, but rather is intended to help them decide when allergen QRA is appropriate or necessary, and how to decide if it can actually be performed and, if it is to be undertaken, what is the most suitable methodology.


The intended audience is mainly industry wishing to understand and conduct food allergen risk assessments, and potentially QRA. However, it should be noted, that this guide could also be useful for others, including official control agencies.

[NEW]

Food Allergen Precautionary Labelling: A Risk-Based Approach.

Overview for Food Business Operators.

This short document is intended to provide an overview of food allergen Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) and how it can help decision making by FBOs, especially regarding PAL. It will also serve to raise awareness and uptake of QRA as an approach to food allergen risk assessment. Subsequent documents will provide information on how food allergen QRA can be applied effectively by FBOs located at specific points along the supply chain.
