At its 92nd workshop, the ALTS („Arbeitskreis der auf dem Gebiet der Lebensmittelhygiene und der Lebensmittel tierischer Herkunft tätigen Sachverständigen“) and the ALS („Arbeitskreis Lebensmittelchemischer Sachverständiger der Länder und des Bundesamtes für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit“) jointly decided to publish updated threshold levels for the evaluation of analytical findings for undeclared allergens for official laboratories of food authorities.

These threshold levels are intended to provide guidance as to the level at which a declaration obligation as an ingredient in accordance with Regulation 1169/2011 must be checked for an allergen that has been detected but not declared or only declared as “may contain…”.

The updated threshold levels are based on the recommendations of the FAO/WHO expert consultation for threshold levels for precautionary allergen labeling. Almost all levels are raised by the update. The exact threshold levels are found here.
