Cardiff, 4 November
Join us at the Allergen Management Forum where our very own Barbara Hirst will share her expertise on PAL, reference doses and analytical testing.
Designed for professionals looking to refresh their knowledge or deepen their understanding of allergen management, this event will explore the latest developments, challenges and practical approaches to managing allergens effectively across food production facilities.
The forum will cover a range of key topics, including trends in allergen incidents, allergen risk assessment, Precautionary Allergen Labelling (PAL) and reference dosing, laboratory selection, Codex updates, verification methods and packing controls.
With contributions from leading industry experts, the programme will feature presentations from the Food Standards Agency (FSA), Bio-Check (UK), Greencore and Finsbury Food Group, offering a valuable opportunity to gain insights from across the sector.
Barbara Hirst (Senior Consultant, Food Safety & Quality at RSSL) will explore how reference doses can support decision-making around the use of PAL, alongside the current legal framework and anticipated changes from Codex. She will also examine the role of allergen risk analysis in informing PAL decisions, share practical hints and tips for analytical testing and discuss how consumers interpret allergen labelling.
The sessions will include plenty of time for questions, discussion and networking, giving attendees the chance to exchange experiences, explore challenges and take away practical knowledge to apply in their own businesses.
Whether you are looking to update your existing approach or build greater confidence in your allergen management practices, this is an excellent opportunity to learn from experts and connect with fellow professionals.
