International Food Allergen Icons

Available from

International Food Allergen Icons are easily recognizable symbols for use in the food manufacturing and food warehouse environments that can be recognized and understood regardless of a person's native language. The allergen icons are available for use in the food industry at plant and warehouse locations to:

• Identify tools used for cleaning specific allergens.
• Identify the presence of specific allergens in ingredients (i.e. place a milk icon sticker on a pallet of bagged ingredients which contains milk powder)
• Link to training material in situations where language barriers exist in plants and can be bridged through icons used as a visual indication of the presence of allergens.
• Identification of a plant area, to indicate the presence of a specific allergen.

Consider the use of these icons in your workplace
and share them with others!
