FSANZ established the Allergen Collaboration in 2011 to strengthen engagement and collaboration among a range of stakeholders involved in managing food allergens.
Members of the Collaboration include food industry, consumer and government representatives who meet to explore non-regulatory measures that can improve the management of food allergens.
The Collaboration's activities mainly involve the development and sharing of education and communication initiatives including the food allergen portal.
The food allergen portal provides access to best practice food allergen resources and key messages to promote in different sectors.
