An article regarding a young person who died after eating a chicken burger in London
I believe that the coroner’s recommendation of having a mandatory distinctive mark beside all ingredients which contain allergens is a fantastic idea.
I just had a quick look in our fridge and pantry and I could not see any allergen advice on the milks or cheeses and the advice on products containing nuts was not very noticeable and did not have the word “allergen” near the advice.
Perhaps any products containing any allergens whatsover could also be required to have a red “A” or “X” on the front or top of the pack so as to help ensure that sufferers are alerted to read the allergen section in the fine print.
Perhaps this is something that Choice could campaign to have it legislated in Australia?
