Allergens and information about allergens

Food allergy is an immune system reaction that occurs soon after eating a certain food. Even a tiny amount of the allergy-causing food can trigger signs and symptoms such as digestive problems, hives or swollen airways. In some people, a food allergy can cause severe symptoms or even a life-threatening reaction known as anaphylaxis. Consumers who are allergic to major food allergens should read the ingredient statement on food products to determine if products contain a major allergen.

A “Contains _______ ” statement, if present on a label, can also be used to determine if the food contains a major food allergen.

The name of the food source of a major food allergen must appear: In parentheses following the name of the ingredient.
Examples: “lecithin (soy),” “flour (wheat),” and “whey (milk)”— OR —Immediately after or next to the list of ingredients in a “contains” statement.
Example: “Contains wheat, milk, and soy.”

People with food allergies should ALWAYS read labels and avoid the foods they are allergic to. Foster Clark has a clearly defined Allergen Programme, which is covered from FSSC22000k legislation requirements in the all necessary steps within the process.

All Allergens (where applicable in our product portfolio) are clearly recognized and marked in bold in our ingredients list declaration for consumer awareness and pre-caution, before consumption
