Did you know that celery is one of the ingredients that must be labelled under the new food-labelling directive? The Institute of Food Research is holding an industry briefing on food allergy on October 14 in response to the new directive. The meeting will also cover detecting allergens in food and EU initiatives in allergy research.
The issues for the food and drink industry are complex," said Clare Mills of the institute’s food and health network. "But we are learning more about what makes particular foods allergenic and how food processing might affect this."
Dr Mills will be leading the event studies the properties of allergenic food proteins. She has extensive contacts with food-allergy researchers across Europe and the US.
The seminar is open to non-members for a fee of £250. More details are available from www.foodandhealthnetwork.com
