FSQA insight

“When a finished product contains an allergen that is missing from the label, teams need to verify that ingredient information stays accurate throughout the entire production process,” said Kristina Gaynilo of Source86.

“That means comparing ingredient specifications, formulation records, and the final package before release. Keeping those records aligned can help teams identify discrepancies before products reach consumers who rely on allergen declarations to make safe purchasing decisions.”
