Raw C Easter Coconut Water has just been recalled from Woolworths nationally. The reason? An undeclared milk allergen. It almost always comes down to a gap in the allergen management system or a labelling error. Here are 3 things your business can do right now to reduce your risk: 1. Audit your allergen register against your current ingredient list. Ingredients change. Suppliers change. If your allergen register hasn't been reviewed since you first set it up, it's out of date. Every ingredient currently in your product needs to be checked against current supplier allergen declarations. 2. Review your labelling every time a recipe or ingredient changes. A one-time labelling review at product launch isn't enough. You need a documented process that triggers a label review any time something in the recipe or supply chain changes. 3. Make sure allergen controls are documented in your hazard analysis, not just in a standalone procedure. An allergen management policy is a good start. But if the hazard analysis doesn't specifically identify undeclared allergen as a hazard, assess its risk, and document the control measures, it won't hold up under audit. If you want to understand how your hazard analysis is supposed to catch these risks before they become a recall, I'm running a free live masterclass this Thursday 10 April. We look at how a hazard analysis should be structured, and where the gaps usually are. And because this recall happened right as I was preparing for it, I've decided to do a full deep dive on allergen management as its own dedicated session. Join me Friday 24 April for a free live Allergen Management Masterclass (registrations will open soon). We'll cover exactly what auditors look for, the 4 gaps I see most often, and how to build a compliant allergen program from the ground up. Both sessions are free. Both are live on Zoom. If you want to make sure your system would have caught this before it became a public recall, come along, let us help you prevent it!
