据英国食品标准局(FSA)消息, 8月1日英国食品标准局发布中小企业食物过敏原标签指南,以帮助中小企业应对2014年12月13日即将生效的欧盟预包装和非预包装(散装)食品标签新法规。
新法规要求食品企业标示14种过敏原信息,含有麸质的谷物、甲壳纲动物、软体动物、蛋、鱼、花生、坚果、大豆、奶、芹菜、芥末、芝麻、羽扇豆、二氧化硫(含量在 10mg/kg 或10mg/L 以上)。
该指南文件诠释了欧盟对于过敏原的要求以及操作实践,有助食品企业(尤其是中小企业)更好的理解这些要求。

The FSA is issuing technical guidance to help small and medium-sized (SME) businesses comply with new rules on allergen labelling and information, which take effect later this year. The guidance is being published following a public consultation.
From 13 December 2014, food businesses in the UK will have to follow new rules in labelling pre-packed foods and non-prepacked (loose) foods. This is part of the European Union Food Information for Consumers Regulation (EU FIC) coming into force.
