Representatives from the industry, the authorities as well as from the medical and scientific fields are presenting the most pressing questions on food allergens at this conference: How to deal with consumer safety and clinical aspects, regulatory aspects and scientific matters, industry practice and analytical approaches.
The 9th International Conference builds directly on the work of the FAO/WHO Expert Consultation on Risk Assessment of Allergens. Based on the Reference Doses developed for priority allergens, the conference now focuses on how these values can be put into practice – in particular, how Precautionary Allergen Labelling (PAL) can be refined and harmonised.
A key topic of the conference is the role of the Codex Committee on Methods of Analysis and Sampling (CCMAS), currently working to identify, validate and standardise suitable analytical methods.
At the same time, experts are looking ahead: New protein sources are increasingly coming into focus – such as existing proteins modified through innovative processing, or novel protein carriers used as substitutes or additives in food production. The conference addresses this trend and explores the challenge of emerging allergens.
In parallel, the Australia and New Zealand Consensus Statement on Best Practice Food Allergen Management 2025 is a pioneering regional standard. This joint statement sets out practical measures for all actors in the supply chain to minimise risks along the entire value chain.
The conference brings together representatives from regulatory and industry backgrounds, as well as political decision-makers. It keeps track of clinical aspects, advances in food analysis and their suitability as well as on recent developments in risk assessment, risk management and communication.
