EU Food Information for Consumers Regulation (FICR)

• It’s the talk of the industry at the moment, allergen control with the new legislation that comes into force 13th December 2014 (EU Food Information for Consumers Regulation FICR).


EU Food Information for Consumers Regulation (FICR)

• Currently the allergen requirements in the Food Labelling Regulations 1996 apply only to pre-packaged food, the new regulation will extend the requirement and means that businesses have to declare the presence of allergens in any food sold without packaging (such as from bakeries, sandwich bars, deli counters and all menu items).


The importance of traceability

• This is so important as part of your food safety management system.

• We can help you to comply in this area also.
