GENERAL APPROACH OF REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

Declaration of Deliberately added ingredients:

Use Simple, Consistent and Systematic Language for Allergen Declaration of Ingredients (Milk and not Beta Lactoglobulin) – The consumer should not shop with a dictionary A priority allergen can not be “hidden” – No exemption would hold

No requirements for Precautionary Statements: At the exception of Japan – where “may contain” is not allowed.

Gluten Free requirements : Based on Codex standard Little to no requirements associated with allergen methodologies (continues to evolve)
