Anaphylaxis Campaign

Find out more about the Anaphylaxis Campaign

The Anaphylaxis Campaign has decided to withdraw its allergen management third party accredited standard following a low take-up within the food industry.
The Campaign’s standard was launched in 2008 along with a package of training courses run by highfield.co.uk and a logo which would enable allergic consumers to clearly identify those companies that had been accredited to the standard.
The Standard has predominantly been utilised as a guide to the best practice for managing allergens throughout the food manufacturing chain with no organisations taking up the ability to become accredited independently for their management of this aspect of consumer safety. Documents such as the Global Standard for Food Safety – Issue Five from the British Retail Consortium (BRC) and the retailer codes of practice are forming the back-bone of many of the food manufacturers controls on allergens, however these set out minimum standards expected rather than being practical assistance in implementing effective management controls.
