A multi-stakeholder
collaboration in Canada, involving food manufacturers, Université Laval,
Canadian Allergists, and Canada’s national patient organization, Food Allergy
Canada, has led to the development of Canadian Allergen
Management Guidelines for Food Manufacturers. These guidelines help to support
food manufacturers in their implementation of effective allergen control plans
including the responsible use of Precautionary Allergen Labelling, to better
meet the needs of Canadians managing food allergy.
Join us for an interactive Q&A session where you can ask
questions related to the Guidelines, allergen management practices, risk
assessment, precautionary allergen labelling and more! Hear from the experts at Université Laval &
Food Allergy Canada as they address your questions and provide their
perspective on commonly asked questions for the food industry.
Who should attend:

- Marketing
- Product Safety
- Nutritional Policy
- Quality Assurance
- Regulatory Affairs
