In the food industry, allergen control has evolved from a recommendation to a critical requirement. The accidental presence of traces, especially gluten, can have serious health, legal, and commercial consequences.
Preventing allergen cross-contamination requires a comprehensive strategy that goes beyond basic hygiene measures.
At Roser Group, we help our clients implement solutions that ensure plant safety, from raw material intake to final product output.
Food allergens such as gluten, lactose, nuts, or eggs affect millions of consumers. However, managing them is far from simple: in many cases, even minimal traces can trigger severe reactions.
Companies working with flour, confectionery, or snacks face major challenges when producing allergen-free alternatives. Batch separation or cleaning lines is not always enough, any unintentional contact can compromise product safety.
Allergen cross-contamination occurs when a product comes into direct or indirect contact with unwanted traces. This can happen at various stages:
Physically separating production lines, storage areas, and staff access points is essential. Ideally, separate facilities should be established for allergen and non-allergen products whenever possible.
Personnel movement must also be controlled. Designing changing rooms with segregated access, assigning exclusive workwear per line, and implementing hygiene systems such as hygiene stations prevent operators from becoming contamination vectors.
At Roser Group, we understand that effective solutions begin with a global vision. It’s not just about installing equipment, it’s about designing a safe and efficient environment.
We support our clients from the analysis phase through to implementation. We propose clean/dirty workflows, zone separation, and controlled personnel and material flows, all tailored to the actual needs of the plant.
