Do you notice "allergies" on some food packages

In the packaging of fixed and pre packaged foods, some of the words and contents of "allergen" are marked; some are only indicated in the ingredients of food containing foods that cause allergies; some are clear and clear on the "allergy tips" of the ingredients table or adjacent position. A few days ago, the reporter visited all kinds of supermarkets, noting that because of various reasons, the food in the packaging of the "allergy" lack of words more, the vast majority of the only indicating that the content and content of the "allergen" did not appear, even if some of the reminding is also different, only a few can achieve vigilance. Effect.

In daily life, a lot of people are allergic to some food for personal physical reasons, such as lactose intolerance, drink milk and diarrhea; some eat eggs or peanuts rash, asthma and so on. The content of food labels is very important to them. In a large supermarket operating imported food, a box of butter biscuits originate in France, on the translated Chinese label, was highlighted in a black font, "allergen information: wheat and milk; and the production line also has eggs, nuts and sesame products."

According to the experts of the Municipal Industry and Commerce Department, some of the raw materials or ingredients in the food will be allergic reaction after being eaten by certain people. One of the effective precautions is to mark the food allergy substances in the food labels, so that the consumers who have the history of allergy choose to choose their own food. "Allergy prompted" is therefore needed, mainly giving consumers a more informed right, reflecting respect for consumers and a responsible attitude for producers.

It is understood that the Ministry of health in April 2012 implemented the "pre packaged food label general rules", one of the recommended labels, is to start the implementation of packaging "sensitized substances" from 2013. The general rule also lists 8 kinds of foods that may cause allergies: Cereals and their products containing gluten (such as wheat, rye, barley, oat, spelt wheat or their hybrid lines); fish and their products; eggs and their products; crustaceans and their products (such as shrimp, lobster, crabs, etc.); peanuts and their products; soybeans and their systems Products; milk and dairy products (including lactose); nuts and nuts products.

Experts say, since there is no mandatory requirements for food allergies in this regulation, the current identification of "sensitized substances" is not one of the national compulsory standards for food safety, and is now only implemented as a recommended standard. With the progress of the society and the development of enterprises, more and more suggestions have been put forward that the provisions of "allergy tips" for food packaging will also be gradually improved.
