Until this day, one of the most leading causes of human illness and highest contributor to death are Allergens.Most of these incriminated Allergens are found in food staffs, which has lead to the FDA installing dome food labeling requirements.However, some of the food labels that exist in today’s market tend to be inaccurate and often do not declare allergenic ingredients contained in the food.As a result, contact to Allergens and cross contamination tends to take place almost with any food product picked from the food chain.This is why the FDA’s FSMA preventive control rule pays special attention to allergens. This is made even more important by the fact that these food allergens are invisible and there is very little testing that is done despite the fact that there are many source that can lead to cross contact and cross examination. More so, preventive control, sanitation and transportation regulations are yet to full take effect and as such consumers remain exposed to the high risks of ingesting deadly allergens.
The preventive control measures in place require that risk analysis for allergen plan comprise of incoming,in-process and outgoing ingredients.
