Good day All

 

Just curious, is Coconut or desiccated coconut regarded as an allergen in South Africa?

 

I cant seem to find proper legislative documents or any other documents relating to SA regarding this aspect

 

Please advise

thanks

Not “official” but hopefully you can use this as a starting point.
