"I am very pleased to welcome this new allergen labelling guidance from the FDF. People with food hypersensitivity need good information about the food they buy to keep themselves safe. It’s therefore vital that businesses are able to apply allergen labels accurately and consistently. This guidance provides important advice on the application of precautionary allergen, or ‘may contain’ labels. "
