This half day online course, led by one of our expert consultants, will delve into the use of reference doses (e.g. VITAL) and consider how they can be used when deciding whether to display precautionary allergen labelling.
We will explore the different situations in which this approach can be adopted and consider some of the common stumbling blocks we see businesses encounter. We discuss the legal requirements for allergen labelling and the key aspects of allergen risk analysis, highlighting when the use of precautionary labelling should be considered.
Delegates will then be invited to apply their new knowledge during an interactive exercise designed to help cement the learnings from the course.
