allergen management programs

Allergen management programs are systematic approaches implemented by food producers and providers to prevent accidental allergen exposure. These programs include identifying and controlling allergenic ingredients, maintaining clean production areas, implementing staff training, and clearly labeling products. The goal is to reduce the risk of allergic reactions among sensitive individuals by ensuring that allergens are properly managed throughout the manufacturing and serving processes. Effective allergen management helps protect consumers and comply with safety standards, fostering trust and safety in food environments.
