據英國食品標準局消息，11月4日英國食品標準局公布了對過敏原標識的調查結果。本次調查旨在更好的摸清英國預包裝食品的過敏原標注情況，同時了解“可能含有”某種過敏原的交叉污染情況。
英國食品標準局調查了標注有“可能含X”或“不適于X過敏人群”產品當中乳品、麩質、花生、榛子的含量水平。共采集樣本1016個，涉及12個品項。
部分原文報道如下：
The survey aimed to provide an improved understanding of the type of allergen advisory labelling used on pre-packed processed foods in the UK and whether the labelling was related to the level of allergen present as a result of cross-contamination.
The survey examined the level of milk, gluten, peanut and hazelnut in products that were labelled with phrases including 'may contain X' or 'not suitable for someone with X allergy.' It also sampled products without this type of advisory labelling. In total, the survey sampled 1,016 samples across 12 different product categories.
FSA Food Allergy Research Manager, Sarah Hardy, said: 'Results from the survey suggest that cross contamination for all four allergens, is well controlled by manufacturers. In fact, undeclared allergen cross-contamination in the UK is lower than found in other countries.
