3. What is food allergen ?
- An allergen is a usually harmless substance capable of
triggering a response that starts in the immune system
and results in an allergic reaction
- Occur within minutes or may take an hour or more
- Almost all known food allergens are proteins;
- They can be present in the food in large amounts and
often survive food-processing conditions.
4. Some facts about food allergen
• Each year, many peoples have allergic reactions to food.
• 2-5% population of the world is allergic to food.
• Most food allergies cause relatively mild and minor
symptoms.
• Some food allergies can cause severe reactions, and may
even be life-threatening.
5. Allergic reactions can include:
Hives
Flushed skin or
rash
Tingling or itchy
sensation in the
mouth
Face, tongue, or
lip swelling
Coughing or
wheezing
Dizziness and/or
lightheadedness
Abdominal cramps
Vomiting and/or
diarrhea
6. Mild Symptoms Can Become More Severe
Severe Food Allergies Can Be Life-Threatening
• In fact, if not treated promptly, lead to anaphylaxis.
This can lead to:
- Constricted airways in the lungs
- severe lowering of blood pressure and shock (“anaphylactic shock”)
- Suffocation by swelling of the throat
7. Is there any cure for food allergen?
Only prevention - to avoid serious health consequences.
No Cure for food allergies,
- Strict avoidance of food allergens
- Early recognition and management of allergic reactions to food
8. Foods that can cause Allergy
More than 160 foods can cause allergic reactions in people with food allergies,
Different international laws identify the eight/nine most common allergenic
foods.
These foods account for 90 percent of food allergic reactions
The nine major foods identified by the law are:
10. 1. Cereals containing gluten
I. Wheat,
II. rye,
III. barley,
IV. oats
and their products
Except:
a)Wheat based glucose syrups including dextrose
b)Wheat based maltodextrins
c) Glucose syrups based on barley
d) Cereals used for making alcoholic distillates including ethyl alcohol of agricultural origin
11. 2. Milk
Milk and products
Skimmed milk
Casein
Whey protein and powder
Lactose
Cheese
Butter
Except
• a)Whey used for making alcoholic distillates including ethyl alcohol of agricultural origin
• b) Lactitol
12. 3. Egg
Egg and its products
Whole egg
Egg Powder
Egg white
EggYolk
15. 6. Soybean
Soybeans and products
Soya protein
Soy milk
Except:
• a) Fully refined soybean oil and fat
• b) Natural mixed tocopherols (E306), natural D-alphatocopherols, natural D-alpha
tocopherol acetate and natural D-alpha tocopherol succinate from soybean sources
• c)Vegetable oils derived phytosterols and phytosterol esters from soybean sources
16. 7. Fish
Fish and products,
Except:
a) Fish gelatin used as carrier for vitamin or carotenoid preparations
b) Fish gelatin or Isinglass used as a fining agent in beer and wine
19. About Other Allergens
Persons may still be allergic to — and have serious reactions to — foods other
than the nine foods identified by the law.
So, always be sure to read the food label’s ingredient list carefully to avoid the
food allergens in question.
20. How Major Food Allergens Are Labelled
The name of the food source of a
major food allergen must appear:
1. In parentheses following the
name of the ingredient.
Examples: “lecithin (soy),” “flour
(wheat),” and “whey (milk)”
— OR —
2. Immediately after or next to the
list of ingredients in a “contains”
statement.
Example: “ContainsWheat, Milk, and
Soy.”
21. Food Allergen “Advisory” Labeling
FDA guidance for the food industry states that food allergen advisory statements,
e.g.,
“may contain [allergen]”
or
“produced in a facility that also uses [allergen]”
should not be used as a substitute for
adhering to current good manufacturing practices and
must be truthful and not misleading.
23. Allergens are not always obvious
Baking powder –wheat
Chocolate Chip, Icing sugar –soy or wheat
Amylase –from cereal
Colours & flavours –fish gelatin encapsulation
Coconut milk –casein
Corn flour, starch –wheat
MSG, Xanthan etc –check fermentation substrate and nitrogen source
Vegetable oil –peanut, soy
Vinegar –fining agents; milk, egg, fish
Whitener –wheat or milk
Tocopherols, antioxidants –soy?
24. Key areas for consideration
Cleaning
Practices
Allergen
Management
Raw Material
and Storage
Engineering &
System
Design
Rework
Production
Scheduling
Research &
Development
Training
and
Awareness
25. Research & Development
Minimize use of allergenic ingredients
Design formula to add allergenic ingredients at the end of process
Recommend accessible/cleanable equipment for new product design
Ensure allergens will be readily identifiable on finished product label
26. Engineering & System Design
Guidelines
Design access for cleanouts and inspection
Isolate allergen addition points
Eliminate cross over of material
Dedicate production systems for units not
cleanable
What we at least can do
Labelling of all raw material
Separate racks for allergen material
Eliminate cross over of material by
placing material near the line
Effective implementation of line clearance
Protocol
Improved GMP to eliminate cross
contamination
27. Raw Materials & Storage
What we have to do at incoming stage
Assess allergens in all raw materials
Audit suppliers & co-packers, and help
develop their awareness
Be vigilant in changes to ingredient specs
Packing recycled/reused container.
What we have to do:
All allergens are stored in a separate area from
non-allergens in raw material store.
Separate racks are designated on every floor
for allergen materials and
Proper labeling is in place for material tagging.
Handle appropriately any damaged
containers of allergens to minimize cross-
contact at receiving stage.
An allergenic ingredient cannot be stored on
top of a non-allergenic ingredient.
28. Production Scheduling
Guidelines and what we can do
Dedicate production systems (if possible)
Longer run times/minimize change-overs
Produce ‘Allergen’ containing products at end of production sequence
Allow for thorough clean out time between runs
Confirm correct packaging available
29. Labelling & Packaging
Ensure label reflects exact & current recipe ingredients.
Review label accuracy when an ingredient change/substitution is made.
30. Rework
Guidelines and what we can do
Clearly label all rework
Rework must be stored in segregated form.
Post instructions on the use of rework along with other operator
instructions
Audit rework periodically to ensure proper identification and
use.
Dedicate refeed/regrind system
31. Cleaning practices
Guidelines and what we can do
Adequate cleanout between runs of allergenic and non allergenic
product
Disassemble and manually clean equipment that cannot be
cleaned thoroughly in place
Properly clean accessory tools or equipment (i.e. scoops, bins,
hoppers, etc.)
Dedicate equipment that is difficult to clean
Use alternative cleaning measures where wet wash is not viable
33. Work Done for Allergen control management
Assessment of allergen
Allergens are already labelled on packaging material
Allergen containing material are stored in RMS in segregated and labelled
form
Procedure developed
List of allergens to be displayed in RMS
