    Brief

    The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is seeking research support to improve how it communicates potential changes to precautionary allergen labelling (PAL) and standardisation for pre-packed foods to consumers. This work is critical as the EU is expected to introduce new legislation by the end of 2027, which the UK will likely align with under the SPS agreement. The research will focus on using business and consumer behaviour insights to enhance food hypersensitivity risk communication and help consumers understand the implications of changes to allergen labelling practices. Suppliers should have expertise in social science research, consumer communication, risk perception, and food safety messaging.
