10 May 2019 --- The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has advised that increased allergen information should be provided on prepackaged direct sale food. The FSA advice endorsing full ingredient labeling follows a UK government consultation, launched in January, to strengthen allergen labeling laws. Subject to a decision by Ministers, food outlets selling prepackaged food directly for sale should be required to follow new rules designed to give the UK’s two million food allergy sufferers greater confidence in the safety of their food. The consultation ran until March 29 and the government is currently analyzing the feedback before formally responding.
