日本食物过敏原的管理及对我国的启示

Management of Food Allergens in Japan and Its Revelation for China

随着我国食物过敏问题对消费者和食品企业的影响越来越严重,食物过敏原的管理和控制问题亟待解决。日本是世界上第一个建立强制性食物过敏标识并加以立法保护的国家,现已形成完善的食物过敏原标签管理系统。日本食物过敏原法规的形成过程、约束范围及食物过敏原标签的标注方式、不规范标注的处罚措施和过敏原成分的检测方法,对中国制定符合本国国情的食物过敏原强制性管理法规和建立相关的检测技术具有启示作用。

The infl uence of food allergy on consumers and the food industry has become more and more serious in China. It is very urgent for China to solve this problem. Japan is the fi rst country in the world to enact laws for the mandatory labelling of allergen information on food containers and has already had a whole allergen labelling system. The law-making process, the scope of the restraint, the lablelling strategies for food allergens, the punishment measures for false labelling, and the detection methods for food allergens in Japan can offer enlightenments for China to enact laws and establish detection methods for solving the problem of food allergens.
