Summary

Article 2 of the draft Policy Rule may contain technical regulations. For allergic consumers, it is important that the information on the label warns if an allergen is present in quantities that could pose an actual risk. Precautionary allergen labelling may therefore only be used if it appears that, despite preventive measures, there is a risk to consumers with allergies. This Policy Rule specifies when allergen labelling may be applied as a precautionary measure.
