Food Allergen Testing Standards and Labeling Status

Abstract

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and health awareness, more and more attention has been paid to food safety. It follows that the research and management of the types and labels of food allergens also need to be more and more strict. Therefore, the regulation of food allergens needs to be more and more stringent. This summary reviews the current status of food allergen testing methods and standards in China. Also, the labelling of food allergen types in China, the Codex Alimentarius Commission, the United States, the European Union, Canada and Japan is systematically summarized. By systematically reviewing the labeling management of food allergens in various countries and regions, it is hoped to provide reference for Chinese food allergen labeling management, and to continuously improve our country's food allergen detection methods and labeling standards.
