With Allergen Awareness Week in full swing, the Food Matters Live podcast, in partnership with Dutch Spices, is focussing on allergen-free food.
Food allergies and intolerances affect millions of people worldwide. In Europe alone, more than 17 million people suffer with them.
They may find themselves avoiding eating out, missing meals with family and friends, and endlessly checking food labels.
And when it comes to something as serious as food allergies, trust is a big issue.
We have had high-profile cases in recent years which have shown the devastating effects of what can happen when things go wrong.
With food allergies seemingly on the rise, the need for innovation is becoming ever more important.
So, how is the food industry responding to these safety concerns?
Guests:
Piet Buis, Business Unit Manager Export, Dutch Spices
Peter Curry, Managing Director, Gastrome Professional Ingredients
John Smith, General Manager, Finnegan’s Farm
