Allergen form is available on /en/our-extracts/products/ , by clicking on ‘Allergen’ button, after a fast and simple registration. This document includes the compositional breakdown with the relative percentage of all components of the extract (which is considered a mixture).
The allergen form differs according to the end-use of the product:
- Glycolic extracts are considered for cosmetic use only and the presence of allergens is retrieved from bibliographical data.
- All other extracts suitable for food and food supplement industry have a different allergen form, which is drafted based on the list of food allergens according to annex II of Reg. (EU) 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers. The presence of allergens is based on bibliographical data of plant components and on our self-monitoring plan. Moreover, in order to reduce cross-contamination, EPO applies a specific procedure to validate the cleaning of manufacturing facilities and equipment used for those products containing allergens.
