By 2026, food businesses must comply with the new Dutch national policy on allergen cross-contamination and Precautionary Allergen Labelling (PAL). This shift demands a well-founded, risk-based approach to managing cross-contact.
Our allergen policy training equips you with the essential steps, key considerations, and practical tools needed to prepare your business — with plenty of opportunity for your questions and real-life cases. Specifically, the training covers how to communicate and align on quantitative allergen information requirements between suppliers and manufacturers. It also provides guidance on key points to assess and discuss during supplier audits.


This training offers clear guidance on the requirements of the new Dutch allergen policy for cross-contamination and Precautionary Allergen Labelling (PAL). You'll gain practical insights into key elements from the official guidelines on cross-contact of allergens — including preventive measures and risk assessment.

By the end of the training, you'll have a solid understanding of the new regulatory expectations and the tools you need to implement an effective allergen policy within your own organization.
