Food Allergen Labeling Management: A Review of the European Experience and Its Inspiration for China

doi:10.7506/spkx1002-6630-201401052

Abstract

Abstract:

Interest in food allergen labeling has significantly increased in recent years. The European Union (EU) has mature
experience in this regard. In this paper the European experience is outlined with respect to management agencies, the process
of revising regulations and cross-contamination control and a comparison on the current status of food labeling management
in China was made to summarize China’s shortcomings, mainly including imperfect regulations and standards for food
allergen labeling, lack of risk assessment of food allergens, no cross-contamination regulations and low consumer awareness
on food allergens. On the basis of the European experience, this paper put forwards some proposals on food allergen labeling
management in China.

Key words: the European Union, food allergen labeling, cross-contamination, management regulations
