The biggest allergen of concern is peanuts, insomuch as where it takes only 1/1,000th of a peanut to trigger a reaction; the other known allergens require somewhat greater levels of contamination to trigger a reaction.
So then for a packaging manufacturer who has strict hygiene controls such as operator hand washing and no food and drink allowed to be consumed in production or storage areas. Do we need to ban snickers and other food products with nuts from vending machines in canteens? Indeed do we go further and ban foods that may contain traces of nuts such as ready meals and Nutrigrain bars to prevent incidental contamination? Can anyone provide a pragmatic risk assessment on this?
