The tools and data from the project have been used to create a food allergen and allergy management knowledge base made up of the following tools.<\/p>\n

Tools and approaches have been developed for the food industry, and particularly to support small and medium-sized businesses in allergen management.<\/p>\n

An important aspect of managing allergens in foods is to understand how allergens may enter food ingredients across the supply chain, and then how food manufacturing processes may result in allergen contamination.<\/p>\n
We have developed an allergen tracking tool that can estimate the probability of unintended allergen presence by identifying this presence and then undertaking a vulnerability assessment based on the production steps.<\/p>\n
An extension of the tool covers a vulnerability analysis of the supply chain.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item _builder_version=”3.17.6″ title=”Tier 1 risk assessment”]<\/p>\n
The concentration of unintentional allergen (in mg total protein of the allergenic food) present in a food product can be determined in one of two ways:<\/p>\n
- \n
- estimating the level of unintended allergen presence using information such as the allergen content in the preceding recipe, and estimating the carryover into the next production batch, or<\/li>\n
- analysing the final product and\/or samples taken at intermediate steps in the manufacturing process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
[Tier 1 model to go here]<\/em><\/p>\n
If the Tier 1 tool shows that the potential allergen exposure in a given product is above the reference dose, mitigation measures have to be employed and the cycle repeated.<\/p>\n
If the problem persists, a Tier 2 risk assessment (see below) should be applied and, if mitigation proves insufficient, a precautionary allergen label applied.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item _builder_version=”3.17.6″ title=”Tier 2 risk assessment”]<\/p>\n
Probabilistic risk assessment approaches for food allergy have been developed based on mathematical modelling.<\/p>\n
A comparison of different probabilistic models showed that they provide a consistent risk estimate, and therefore formed a consensus approach.<\/p>\n

The risk mitigation matrix summarises the risk management measures taken from literature, guidelines and practice.<\/p>\n
Measures are organised by location in the process or facility. An indication of cost and efficacy of the measure has been added to allow the best choice based on needs and resources.<\/p>\n
