Allergen Certification and Consulting

The food industry has always taken measures to protect its consumers. With the FDA's enforcement of the Federal Allergen Labeling Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) and international food allergen labeling directives affecting food products and product liability laws, additional demands to mitigate allergen contamination risks are now being imposed on food manufacturers, both domestic and exporters. To help the food industry to comply with these additional requirements, Eurofins GeneScan has put together a program tailored to this industry sector dealing with these critical issues.
