Food allergens present a risk to more than 30 million people in the United States. Controlling food allergens in retail facilities and reducing the number of allergen-related recalls are a priority, but is the industry doing enough?
NGA hosted a recent webinar to explore the latest on best practices for retailers, what manufacturers are doing to address recalls, and how the regulatory community is taking steps to address this concern, which if unchecked could lead to severe allergic reactions or even death.
Speakers included Jill Hollingsworth, VP of food safety and retail industry relation at Ecolab; Steve Oswald, VP of food safety and quality assurance at Wakefern Food Corp.; and Donna Garren, EVP of science and policy at the American Frozen Food Institute.
