In this book, researchers, subject matter experts and key stakeholders from government, the food industry, retail/food service groups and consumer groups 1) discuss current status and issues associated with management of food allergens, and 2) summarize research findings and showcase the best practices in managing allergen risks at various stages of the food chain, including during food manufacture/processing, during food preparation in food service and retail food establishments, in the home, and at the point of consumption. Key legislative initiatives that are in various stages of development and implementation at the federal, state and community levels are also highlighted.
The authors identify gaps in the assessment, management, and communication of food allergen risks, and recommend ways to build and strengthen education and outreach efforts at the food industry, government, institutional, and community levels.
