Detailed explanation-1: -Cross-contact occurs when one type of food comes into contact with another type of food resulting in the mixture of proteins. For food allergies, cross-contact is important when an allergen is inadvertently transferred to a food/meal that is thought to not contain that specific allergen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cross contamination is the name given when one food comes into contact with another food, resulting in their proteins (what your body reacts to in an allergic reaction) mixing. For example, using a barbeque to first fry eggs, before moving on to cook bacon and only wiping down the barbeque with a wet cloth in between.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is cross-contamination? Cross-contamination can happen when a small amount of a food allergen gets into another food accidentally through the manufacturing or food preparation process. It can also occur through contact with utensils, surfaces or objects, as well as passed through saliva.
Detailed explanation-4: -Allergen cross-contamination can happen unintentionally when there is a risk that the allergen has entered the product accidentally during the production process. This can sometimes happen when several food products are made on the same premises. There is no specific legal requirement to label food with ‘may contain’.
