Allergen control plans

An allergen control plan is a structured approach that food production facilities use to prevent unwanted allergens from contaminating food products. It involves identifying all potential allergen risks, implementing strict cleaning and sanitation procedures, maintaining separate equipment or areas for allergen-containing foods, and training staff on allergen management. The goal is to ensure that products are safe for people with food allergies and to prevent harmful cross-contact. Effective allergen control plans help protect consumers and ensure compliance with food safety regulations.
