UK: FDF Richtsnoer voor claims “Vrij van” allergenen

01 december 2015

The Food and Drink Federation (FDF) has published a guidance to manufacturers and caterers on the appropriate use of "free-from" claims in relation to food allergens. With the exception of “gluten-free”, there is no specific UK or EU legislation covering “free-from” claims. “Free-from” claims are therefore regulated in accordance with the provisions of General Food Law (Regulation (EC) No 178/2002), as amended.
A “free-from” allergen claim is an absolute claim unless a regulatory threshold has been set and should only be used following a rigorous assessment of the ingredients, process and environment (Food and Drink Federation Website, 12 november 2015).
