Food allergen labeling regulations have been implemented in several countries since 2006. Currently, experts are still discussing the introduction of thresholds or action levels, which should lead to the reduction of the widespread use of advisory statements (e.g., "may contain") for the benefit of the allergic consumer. However, the establishment of threshold requires supporting analytical methodologies to enforce and comply with the regulations. This article discusses the possibilities and limitations of existing and emerging methodologies for the purpose of enabling compliance with and enforcement of allergen action levels.
自2006年以来，多个国家已实施食品过敏原标签法规。目前，专家们仍在讨论引入阈值或行动水平，这将有助于减少广泛使用的警示声明（如“可能含有”），从而使过敏消费者受益。然而，阈值的设定需要支持性的分析方法来执行和遵守相关法规。本文讨论了现有和新兴方法的可能性与局限性，以便能够遵守和执行过敏原行动水平。
