Unfortunately due to low registration numbers this workshop has now been cancelled.

Undeclared allergens caused a staggering 48% of all food recalls between 2020 and 2024, according to the latest Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) data. Effective allergen management and accurate labelling are more important than ever.

This comprehensive 6-hour workshop will guide participants through the core principles of allergen identification and management, and labelling compliance. You’ll gain a clear understanding of PEAL (Plain English Allergen Labelling) requirements, how to identify and manage cross-contamination risks, and when to apply precautionary allergen statements. Whether you're involved in food production, new product development or QA, this session equips you to meet regulatory obligations and protect consumers with confidence.
