A single-ingredient spice still needs a clear allergen assessment. For buyers of turmeric, chilli or ginger powder, the ingredient list is a starting point. Unintended allergen cross-contact can occur through shared equipment, handling and storage.
Questions for supplier assessment
- Which allergenic ingredients are handled at processing and packing sites?
- Are grinders, sieves, utensils or packing lines shared?
- How are segregation and cleaning controls assessed and verified?
- What information supports the allergen statement?
- How will relevant changes be communicated?
Apply the requirements to your enquiry
Codex guidance addresses supplier allergen information and controls to prevent cross-contact. CBI’s European spice guidance highlights undeclared allergens including celery, mustard and sesame. Request a statement supported by a documented assessment, and review it against the destination market and intended use. A single ingredient declaration alone does not establish absence of cross-contact.
