Allergen management is a critical aspect of food safety, with mismanagement leading to serious consumer health risks, costly recalls, and legal repercussions. Phoenix Food Consultancy provides expert support to help your business implement robust allergen control systems that meet UK/EU legislation and industry best practice.
With allergen-related product recalls on the rise, food businesses must have effective control systems in place to manage allergenic risks. Regulations such as (EU) No 1169/2011 and the introduction of legislation for Prepacked for Direct Sale (PPDS) products demand a rigorous approach.
Food businesses are required to provide accurate allergen information, handle allergens safely, and ensure staff are adequately trained. Inadequate control not only puts consumers at risk but can lead to enforcement action, reputational damage, and product withdrawal.
Phoenix Food Consultancy offers a comprehensive allergen control service tailored to your business—from risk assessments and label checks to allergen awareness training and PPDS compliance reviews.
Allergen control must go beyond basic label checks. It requires a systematic and proactive strategy that is embedded across all levels of your food operation. We help you build a culture of allergen awareness and compliance that protects both consumers and your brand.
From raw material intake to final product labelling, we assess your full allergen control process.
We deliver practical, relevant allergen training for operatives, supervisors, and management teams.
Ensure your business meets the requirements of Natasha’s Law with fully compliant labelling and systems.
