[UK] FSA marks a year to go until allergen labelling changes are introduced (2020-10-01)
  • Registration Date 2020-10-05
  • Hit 241
The FSA is raising awareness of changes to allergen labelling laws by providing new information and resources to help businesses prepare before they come into effect on 1 October 2021 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. This information will help businesses check if they are affected by the changes and what they need to do to prepare. The new laws will help protect food hypersensitive consumers by requiring potentially life-saving allergen information on the label of prepacked for direct sale food. This is food which is packaged at the same place it is sold or offered to consumers and is also in its packaging before it is ordered or selected. The FSA has produced a guide to help businesses check exactly what products will require the new labelling. The changes follow the tragic death of teenager Natasha Ednan-Laperouse from an allergic reaction caused by a baguette which did not require allergen labelling. Governments across the UK have introduced new legislation ? referred to as ‘Natasha’s Law’ ? which will require these foods to have ingredient and allergen information provided on the label from 1 October 2021. https://www.food.gov.uk/news-alerts/news/fsa-marks-a-year-to-go-until-allergen-labelling-changes-are-introduced
