Connections Food Safety Webinar: Labeling & Allergens
Video from NC State Extension. Watch on YouTube.
What you'll get
Two NC State Extension specialists walk through the same label rules as the page, with pictures of real labels: where net contents and the ingredient panel go, nutrient and health claims, the nine allergens and how to list them, hidden allergen sources such as soy in gums and wheat in soy sauce, and what organic, date and natural labels do and do not mean. Watch it after the page if you plan to make claims on your label or your recipe uses unusual ingredients.
Do this week
Check each ingredient on your list against the webinar's hidden-allergen examples, and call any supplier whose ingredient label doesn't say what the ingredient is made from.
