食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)美國FDA消息,5月7日美國FDA發(fā)布豁免標示過敏原申請及通知的行業(yè)指南草案,以幫助行業(yè)起草豁免過敏標識申請書。
草案稱,因為來自主要過敏原的成分可能經(jīng)過改進,已不含過敏蛋白質(zhì)或不會引起過敏反應(yīng),因此按照美國《食品過敏原標識與消費者保護法案》的要求,可以豁免標識過敏原。
部分原文報道如下:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing draft guidance, Draft Guidance for Industry: Food Allergen Labeling Exemption Petitions and Notifications1, that is intended to help industry prepare submissions that seek exemptions from the labeling requirements for ingredients derived from major food allergens.
The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (FALCPA) requires that food labels identify products containing major food allergens (milk, eggs, fish, Crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts, and soybeans)。 Because an ingredient derived from a major food allergen may be modified to such an extent that it does not contain allergenic protein or does not cause an allergic response that poses a risk to human health, FALCPA provides for two processes through which a manufacturer can obtain an exemption from this labeling requirement for a specific ingredient.
