The increasing awareness of food allergies and their potential severity led to the development of allergen control programs, especially over the past 10 years. An Allergen Control Plan is a systematic method for identifying and controlling allergens, from the incoming ingredients to the final packaged product in any food processing plant.

Thus, an allergen control is about protecting the health of consumers with food allergies, and protecting the financial health, and reputation of the company. The main components of the allergen control plan rely on how the risk is being managed through assessment, management, and communication.
