Allergen policy

Fourteen allergens
The European Commission has regulated the labelling of 14 allergens in (2003/89/EC). Information is very important for consumers suffering from food allergy or food intolerance. This legislation not only has a direct impact on the method of labelling but also affects overall chain management.
Measures
Verstegen is happy to help you develop completely allergen-free products. We have a lot of experience! In order to meet the high allergen policy requirements, we have taken a number of measures.
Importance of the label
Information is essential for consumers suffering from food allergy or food intolerance. For these people, the lack of detailed information is a handicap because they can never be sure that the products they buy do not contain allergens. Therefore, consumers suffering from a food allergy or food intolerance must be adequately informed about the composition of foods by means of labels.
