Hello all,

I have a question regarding best practice for double allergen use. We have a fully functioning allergen program that has been in place and effective. Soon we will add an new allergen (SESAME) and when this happens we will have some items with 2 allergens. What is the best way to deal with this. I am referring to color coding etc.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions !

Perhaps the best way is attaching a colour to the BOM (if you use those) so when pulling for item X and Y use orange, when pulling for item B use grey

You can then post the BOM + the colour all over the plant

So are you saying use a specific color for the double allergen as opposed to either by themselves?

I have seen this suggested but it seems to get fairly complicated...

Thanks for the clarification!

That is what I'm suggesting

If you really do only have items containing allergen A on it's own and others with Allergen A&B then I would have the A&B it's own colour BUT dedicated for each allergen

Flour (wheat) a orange and a grey scoop

Sesame gray scoop only

With colour coded BOMS, you have less risk of a Grey ingredient being added to an ORANGE BOM

"BOM" = ??
