            Food Allergy Labelling

            Published by Dr Josรฉ Costa at 13/01/2022

            This is of extreme importance to improve the quality of life of allergy sufferers.โฃ โฃ
            Despite its existence, often, there are still episodes of allergic reactions.โฃ

            Almost half of adult patients have suffered moderate to severe allergic reactions to pre-packed food.โฃ

            Recent research has shown both allergic and non-allergic sufferers struggle to understand what the differentย ๐˜—๐˜ˆ๐˜“ย mean.โฃ
            In fact, theyย incorrectlyย associate different wording to different risk levels.โฃ

            The higher the health education of people in the study, the more they would give different risk levels to various food labels.
            Interestingly, non-allergy sufferers give a higher risk to food labels than allergy sufferers.

            According to the research, consumers felt โ€œ๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐œ๐ž๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐š ๐Ÿ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒโ€ was associated with less risk than โ€œ๐Œ๐š๐ฒ ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ข๐งโ€ or โ€œ๐“๐ซ๐š๐œ๐ž๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿโ€.โฃ

            To make matters worse, a high proportion ofย allergy sufferersย do not readย ๐˜—๐˜ˆ๐˜“ย and rely on their own previous experience.โฃ

            The problem is that there areย ๐ง๐จ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ข๐๐ž๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ฌย onย ๐˜—๐˜ˆ๐˜“ย wording or when they should be used.โฃ
            It is also not compulsory in theย ๐„๐”, being of voluntary use by producers.โฃ
            In theย ๐”๐Š, it became compulsory due toย ๐˜•๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ขโ€™๐˜ด ๐˜“๐˜ข๐˜ธ.โฃ

            There is an urgent need to enforce legislation, making the wording better and clearer.โฃ

            It would start with the sole use of โ€œ๐Œ๐š๐ฒ ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ข๐งโ€ inย ๐˜—๐˜ˆ๐˜“, this way levelling the information, potentially decreasing the risk for all allergy sufferers.
