We had a good discussion about the growing prevalence of food allergies, food regulatory agencies, and how the new labeling rules including the FASTER Act, declaring sesame as the 9th major allergen in the U.S.
For your use, here is the session video and also the presentation from Tracie Sheehan, VP, Mérieux NutriSciences. Just after our discussion, the FDA issued a FASTER Act overview video.
Listen in as Dr. Carol D'Lima clarifies food allergen requirements as part of the FDA's safety measures to protect consumers in this video.
Clarifying food allergen requirements for the industry is part of the FDA’s safety measures to help protect consumers from ingredients and foods they may be allergic to without overly restricting food choices.
Thank you again to the Mérieux NutriSciences team for the great information and discussion.
The SQF Code for Food Safety Services provides a framework that enables service providers to demonstrate through third-party audits that their work supports food safety across the supply chain.
SQF's first Product Spotlight Day, focused on automation and digital documentation, attracted nearly 1,200 registrants interested in exploring solutions and hearing directly from seven providers.
Automation is helping food safety teams strengthen traceability, close gaps faster, and stay audit-ready before pressure hits.
