Skip to content *Important Product Notice* A new regulation relating to the labelling of allergens is being introduced in Australia and New Zealand. The aim of the new regulation is to improve allergen information by presenting the prescribed allergens in plain English, creating a consistent and easily understood format across food labels that makes it easier for consumers to read and understand.
A key change due to this regulation is that Tree Nuts can no longer be used as a catch-all phrase, rather labels must be more specific on the type of tree nut. Labels must state the exact tree nut contained in the product e.g. almond, Brazil nut, cashew, hazelnut, macadamia, pecan, pine nut, pistachio, walnut.
There will be some further adjustments relating to additives and processing aids derived from allergenic materials. These must be declared in bold type within the ingredient listing and also captured in the Contains statement after the list of ingredients. Noting that wheat-derived ingredients are often used as an additive in flavours, so in some cases where the flavour supplier cannot confirm the level/existence of gluten from a wheat-derived ingredient, we have chosen to state Contains wheat, gluten” to ensure we protect our consumers as much as possible.
During the transition to comply with this new regulation (3-year transition + 2-year sell-through period), you may notice changes to our label layout and the way allergens are listed on the labels of our products and many other products on the Australian and New Zealand marketplace. We are working to update our labels and website in alignment, but in some cases, there may be a slight difference in timing, thus we appreciate your patience as we endeavour to roll out these changes as swiftly as possible. For any product queries, please reach out to our Customer Services team. For more information see: www.allergyfacts.org.au/news-alerts/allergy-matters-blog/new-plain-english-allergen-labelling
