Allergen Advisory statement and low level agricultural contamination
As part of our BRC accreditation, we are required to monitor existing and emerging issues in order to notify customers of any threats to the products supplied.
In order to be fully transparent with our customers, a number of our products carry an additional allergen advisory statement which is clearly stated on the product specification. This statement refers to low level agricultural contamination (LLAC). Where intercropping and crop rotation takes place, low level agricultural contamination with wheat, mustard, celery and/or peanuts can occur. Where intercropping and crop rotation with these allergens takes place, low level agricultural contamination can occur. Low level agricultural contamination occurs when there is any contact between the ingredient crop and the allergen crop, such as but not limited to: when the previous allergen crop re-seeds naturally, seeds; crops are accidentally contaminated during harvest; or when stems and roots of an allergen plant are dug back in to the soil to improve fertility. JustIngredients Limited uses suppliers that are aware of allergen contamination and these suppliers have controls in place to limit exposure to allergens.
