Wakefield Metropolitian District Council, GB designs tool for accurate food allergen assessments

The national Regulators’ Pioneer Fund awarded £66,259 to the council for project design and development. The planned platform assists food-related businesses in identifying different types of food allergen cross-contamination during production. This categorization results in more precise labeling of food items with allergens than allowed by standard disclaimers like "may contain." Businesses, consumers, and the council will benefit from improved food handling and labeling practices.
