Allergen recalls remain a persistent problem across the industry. So why, despite significant investment, aren’t the trends moving in the right direction?

Following the success of our webinar on allergen testing best practice, we’ve teamed up with Campden BRI for a three-part webinar series on allergen management in food manufacturing. Part One features Independent Food Safety Consultant Alec Kyriakides and Wendy Duncan, Safety, Quality & Allergens Manager at Campden BRI.

In this session, Alec opened with a top-level overview of the relevant regulations and what the upcoming Codex changes mean for manufacturers. He then looked at what we can learn from recall data and root cause analysis. Wendy then explored why allergen failures happen and where the greatest risks lie, sharing guidance on keeping procedures effective across the entire production journey. Finally, Klipspringer Director Alex Carlyon shared five practical steps you can take immediately, ensuring you leave the webinar with a clear plan of action.
