Cereal
Integrity issues
There are two main types of Cereal integrity issues:
- Mislabelling of geographical origin
- Mislabelling of species/varieties
Potential threat to public health
Probably the most serious potential threat to human health concerns the potential contamination of gluten free cereals. For food companies involved in the processing of several species of cereals, accidental contamination of gluten free cereals with wheat, for example, can occur and such products can cause illness or severe reactions for individuals with wheat allergies or coeliac disease. Separate production lines and good traceability are required to reduce the risk and the impact on the public health.
