Leading the way in Allergen Control - Dave Newell - Matcon Limited

Presented by Dave Newell - General Manager and Business Development Australasia - Matcon Limited          

With a growing number of allergen sufferers worldwide and increased awareness of the health risks associated with allergic reactions, consumers and auditing bodies are now holding manufacturers accountable. Failure to manage allergens effectively can not only be life threatening for the end user but will also create reputation and operational damage to an organisation. The processes that control the handling of ingredients have therefore never been more important, and manufacturers with systems that are agile enough to meet the changes in consumer demand can gain a competitive advantage.
