When it comes to #MayContain labelling, these can be very frustrating for families dealing with food allergies, who need to carefully examine any food they purchase to determine if it's safe.
Some key points to remember as talked about by Prof. @DrAdamFox
👉No regulations: Manufacturers have discretion over using "may contain" or "may contain traces" labels, leading to inconsistent usage and confusion (as they can choose whether or not to include such warnings, and there are no rules about the language they use).
👉Risk assessments with your doctor: Patients should perform risk assessments on foods they consume considering factors like their current state of health, availability of medication, and proximity to emergency services. It is important these risk factors are discussed together with your doctor, as the decision to consume foods with "may contain" warnings varies for individuals.
👉Balanced decision-making: Proper risk assessment helps avoid overly restrictive diets, making life easier for those with food allergies whilst still staying safety.

Raises more Qs than gives As. Very much want to hear the reasoning from @morrisons in due course. #maycontain #vegan #allergy
So what does this sort-of-but-not-quite precautionary label mean? Does this signify a may contain for egg, milk etc? This is adding a whole new layer of complication to labelling @Morrisons. Has anyone else seen? #freefrom #vegan #allergylabelling @FreeFromWriter
Paediatric Allergy Consultant Prof. @DrAdamFox talks about the risk of Anaphylaxis & shares key insight about allergy desensitisation; You can listen to the full chat on the #MayContain podcast - available to watch now, this can also be watched on YouTube https://t.co/ukzNtBf2ON
Carla Jones, CEO at AllergyUK,"#Maycontain statements that don't show a true reflection of the ingredients included & are more helpful to the manufacturer than to the allergic consumers. Our #PatientCharter calls for more transparent labelling so families can make safer choices"
The cost of living with food allergies is becoming 'unbearable'.
My latest for @BBCNews digs into why people with food allergies are particularly vulnerable to soaring food inflation.
It's a hugely under recognised problem. 🧵

Daniel Kelly created a magazine about the dangers of anaphylaxis called @_MayContain back in 2015. Now, he has a blog - see his YouTube video

EpiPen vs Emerade: @DrAdamFox spoke on the #maycontain podcast recently. Here is clip from their talk discussing both types of AAIs to help people have a better understanding of the two brands of Adrenaline Auto-Injectors (AAIs).
"Contains" statements declare which #allergens are intentional ingredients in a food product. #MayContain statements are VOLUNTARY & declare possible #CrossContamination risks. But since they are voluntary, there can be CC risks for foods even with no warning! #AreYouAware
#glutenfree #coeliac yesterday @theLOUNGERS Portico. Big shout out to manager who alerted me to the May contain allergy matrix. I’ve eaten at the chain safely but this was first time I’d been alerted to “May Contain”
I never eat #maycontain so I was directed to all safe options
@sarahjchapman @AnaphylaxisUK @NatashasLegacy Food labelling for a single ingredient eg swede should say that. Multi ingredient products need a product name and a short description - also obviously all the #ingredients, #14allergens which are mandatory, and #maycontain if needed which is technically voluntary
Every time I see these two on the same product, it makes my choice difficult. Yes, I know how the #labelling works - that for life threatening #allergy sufferers #maycontain means - "don't risk it".
❤️So my sympathy goes to #vegans who must be very conflicted seeing this.

@DrPaulYT made the case for introducing allergen thresholds so we know what May Contain actually means. But he warned that food businesses are so worried about “reputational risk” if something goes wrong that change could be a while off. #maycontain #foodallergy
@Trying99456649 @angilou_72 @foodallergyuk @GalaxyChocolate @foodgov @SloughCouncil #Maycontain #PAL voluntary but for clarity needs to be a clear new line under ingredients, and not run on after ingredients - too easy to miss like this. Same field of vision but separately underneath
