FAO/WHO Expert Consultation on Allergen

The FAO/WHO Expert Consultation on Allergen is a meeting where scientists and health experts collaborate to review and improve guidelines for managing food allergies. Their goal is to ensure food labels clearly identify potential allergenic ingredients, helping consumers avoid allergic reactions. They assess scientific evidence on allergen risks, develop international standards, and provide recommendations to protect public health. This cooperation aims to enhance food safety and facilitate global trade by harmonizing allergen labeling and risk management practices.
