    食品伙伴网讯    据英国食品标准局消息，11月4日英国食品标准局公布了对过敏原标识的调查结果。本次调查旨在更好的摸清英国预包装食品的过敏原标注情况，同时了解“可能含有”某种过敏原的交叉污染情况。

    英国食品标准局调查了标注有“可能含X”或“不适于X过敏人群”产品当中乳品、麸质、花生、榛子的含量水平。共采集样本1016个，涉及12个品项。

    The survey aimed to provide an improved understanding of the type of allergen advisory labelling used on pre-packed processed foods in the UK and whether the labelling was related to the level of allergen present as a result of cross-contamination.

    The survey examined the level of milk, gluten, peanut and hazelnut in products that were labelled with phrases including 'may contain X' or 'not suitable for someone with X allergy.' It also sampled products without this type of advisory labelling. In total, the survey sampled 1,016 samples across 12 different product categories.

    FSA Food Allergy Research Manager, Sarah Hardy, said: 'Results from the survey suggest that cross contamination for all four allergens, is well controlled by manufacturers. In fact, undeclared allergen cross-contamination in the UK is lower than found in other countries.
