Allergen management
![[Translate to Englisch:] Nüsse als Allergene](/fileadmin/_processed_/2/9/csm_nuesse_b027edb95a.jpg "[Translate to Englisch:] Nüsse als Allergene")
People who are allergic to or intolerant of certain foods and food substances rely on proper food labelling. It makes little difference to them whether the relevant contamination gets into food as an ingredient or whether accidental carry-over or cross-contamination (cross contacts) is involved. Manufacturers can significantly reduce the risk of cross contamination through a functioning allergen management system. These systems perform a key role in relation to meeting a manufacturer’s duty of care when it comes to food.
