The Food Allergy Research & Resource Program (FARRP)—headquartered at the Food Processing Center at the University of Nebraska—is helping the food industry address this challenge in many ways.
As a FARRP member, your company can get on the inside track—and take advantage of FARRP research and resources to help avoid the problems that allergenic foods can create in your food processing operation.
