Food safety
Legislation
BY ANDY NELSON
Undeclared
HEADING INTO 2023, legislation related to food allergens is top of mind for Arlington,
Va.-based FMI - The Food Industry Association.
In 2021, the Food Allergy Safety, Treatment, Education, and Research (FASTER)
Act was signed into law, making sesame the ninth major food allergen in the United
States, a requirement that goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2023. As a major allergen,
sesame will need to be declared on the label of any packaged food containing it as an
ingredient.
" Since the passage of the FASTER Act, retailers, wholesalers, and product suppliers
have been working to update labels to declare sesame as a major allergen on all
products containing sesame as an ingredient, " said Ashley Eisenbeiser, FMI's senior
director of food and product safety programs.
As part of that process, food industry members have been updating their food safety
plans and allergen control programs to prevent allergen cross-contact in manufacturing
and to ensure accurate allergen information is included on product labels.
Many companies, Eisenbeiser said, have been voluntarily declaring sesame as an
allergen on the label prior to the law's effective date.
" Verifying the accuracy of allergen information on food labels throughout the entire
supply chain is critical for many reasons, " she said. " Undeclared allergens are the
leading cause of recalls and have been for quite some time. Many of these recalls are
due to labeling errors, such as the omission of allergens on product packages or using
incorrect labels. "
