Recalls can happen for a number of reasons, and while foodborne illness outbreaks are the recalls most likely to make the news, other types of recalls happen all the time.

THE BIG 8 1 - Common Allergens in the United States Per Michael Cramer, "this slide provides the common names of the Big 8 1 that are recognized in the US as resulting in food allergies and that we will consider in our Allergen Management Program. However, we must also recognize that these may go by alternate names so that we can conduct a full Hazard Analysis. For example, Soy may be called Edamame or Tofu, Wheat flour may be labeled as Semolina or Durum. We will need to assure that our finished product is clearly labeled with the Common Name in the ingredient statement or with an additional “Contains” statement. One additional consideration is whether products you produce may be exported to countries outside the US. The reason for this is that other countries, such as Canada or countries that are part of the European Union, recognize foods that are not considered allergens in the US. Those include Mustard, Sulphites, Celery, Lupin and Gluten. It is critical that you recognize these additional ingredients if your products are exported." #foodsafety #crosscontact #allergens
