How can food allergy be managed in Second House Products Factory?

The presences of undeclared allergens in food create a risk of life threatening allergic reactions in persons with allergies. As a result of the high risk of some allergic reactions, food processors must declare on labels for allergen presence or for allergen coming from cross contamination, or any protein containing derivatives of these if added as an ingredient in prepackaged food.
Sometimes traces of the foods that some people are allergic to can get into products by accident, during transportation, during manufacturing process or storage. This ia called " Cross contamination".
Ideally, prevention is a good tool from happening. But in some circumstances this may not be possible, so some manufacturers choose to say on the label that a certain food could have got into the product by accident. This is called advisory labeling against allergen.

In Second House Products (SHP) factory, the allergen advice figures to contain the following: Prepared/packed in a facility handling: Wheat/Gluten, Sesame, Treenuts, and Mustard. However no guarantee can be given regarding the production process from raw materials of our supplier. Therefore, we cannot exclude a cross contamination regarding our production process.
