Food allergens and cross contamination risks are more relevant than ever for New Zealand food and beverage manufacturers. Self-diagnosed food allergy rates are as high as 38%, as greater awareness of food allergies, intolerances and the ‘healthy lifestyle’ trend combine with the prevalence of food allergies in the industrial world in the past 50 years ...leading to a rise in the demand for allergen-free foods. This evolving mindfulness around food allergens creates an opportunity for New Zealand food manufacturers to tap into a rapidly growing market. However, cross-contamination management and allergen-free labelling regulations can be confusing, and present a real challenge to food companies manufacturing allergen-free products. Education and sharing knowledge throughout the food industry is key to overcome these challenges. The NZMS Scientific Food Allergen Seminar aims to build confidence and provide guidance to food manufacturers on To find out more information about NZMS Scientific Food Allergen Seminar 2017, email nzms@nzms.co.nz.
