New requirements for the labelling of allergens in food come into force on 25 February 2024. These requirements were developed through FSANZ Proposal P1044 – Plain English Allergen Labelling.
The new requirements include that allergen information is to be declared:
in a specific format and location on food labels, and
using simple, plain English terms in bold font.
The changes will help people find allergen information on food labels more quickly and easily, so they can make informed and safe food choices.
