Abstract

The prevention of allergic reactions relies on avoiding allergenic foods making it crucial to accurately label products and provide clear information to customers. The "Big Eight" allergenic foods (milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, soybeans, and wheat) recommended by the Codex Alimentarius form the basis of the global allergy labeling system. Nevertheless, countries worldwide have developed their own labeling systems tailored to their unique dietary habits and allergy prevalence. With the increase in global food trade and allergy rates, inconsistent international food allergy labeling can jeopardize consumer safety and confuse manufacturers. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the Big Eight allergenic foods and a comparative analysis of allergen labeling regulations across various global regions. It highlights the need for internationally consistent labeling standards, and harmonized approaches for precautionary allergen labeling as well as emphasizes global efforts to enhance the identification of allergenic foods. Furthermore, this review aims to enhance global food safety management, promote international cooperation, and help consumers make informed food choices.

过敏原标签的全球视角:法规和实践的协调。
过敏反应的预防依赖于避免过敏食物,因此准确地标记产品并向客户提供清晰的信息至关重要。食品法典委员会推荐的“八大”致敏食品(牛奶、鸡蛋、花生、树坚果、贝类、鱼、大豆和小麦)构成了全球过敏标签系统的基础。然而,世界各国已根据其独特的饮食习惯和过敏流行程度制定了自己的标签制度。随着全球食品贸易和过敏率的增加,不一致的国际食品过敏标签可能危及消费者安全并使制造商感到困惑。本文综述了八大致敏食品,并对全球不同地区的致敏物标签法规进行了比较分析。它强调需要国际上一致的标签标准和统一的预防过敏原标签方法,并强调全球努力加强对过敏性食品的识别。此外,本综述旨在加强全球食品安全管理,促进国际合作,帮助消费者做出明智的食品选择。

期刊介绍: The journal features cutting-edge original research, brief communications, and state-of-the-art reviews in the specialties of allergy, asthma, and immunology, including clinical and experimental studies and instructive case reports. Contemporary reviews summarize information on topics for researchers and physicians in the fields of allergy and immunology. As of January 2017, AAIR do not accept case reports. However, if it is a clinically important case, authors can submit it in the form of letter to the Editor. Editorials and letters to the Editor explore controversial issues and encourage further discussion among physicians dealing with allergy, immunology, pediatric respirology, and related medical fields. AAIR also features topics in practice and management and recent advances in equipment and techniques for clinicians concerned with clinical manifestations of allergies and pediatric respiratory diseases.
