AIFST Conference  27-28 July

The 2026 AIFST Convention (AIFST26) will bring together Australia’s agrifood science and technology community for two days of cutting‑edge insights, industry connection, and professional growth.

The Allergen Bureau is once again proud to host a deep dive into allergen management as a critical component of food safety. This year, our session will take the form of a dynamic panel discussion: “Beyond the Label – Building Consumer Confidence in PAL.”

While internationally recognised best‑practice guidance exists to support precautionary allergen labelling (PAL), consumer understanding — and trust — in these systems is not always assured. This session will explore how we can bridge that gap.

In line with Allergen Bureau tradition, the discussion will bring together a diverse panel of experts, including consumer and healthcare representatives, standards and auditing bodies, as well as manufacturing perspectives.

Join us for an engaging and interactive conversation, with opportunities for the audience to both listen and participate, as we unpack one of the most important challenges in allergen communication today.
