Peanut and hazelnut occurrence as allergens in foodstuffs with precautionary allergen labeling in Canada

Abstract Precautionary allergen labeling (PAL) is widely used by food industries. Occurrence studies revealed that few analyzed products contained the allergen(s) present in the statement, but little is known in Canada. To improve manufacturing practices and better manage allergen cross-contaminatio...
