Abstract: Food with allergen problem is one of the potential threats that can do serious harm to public life and health. Australia, as the country with the higher food allergy rate, has already adopted food allergen recall measures. Therefore, analyzing the management and current situation of food allergen recalls in Australia has a referential significance for guiding the establishment of food allergen recall management system in China. This paper summarized the food allergen recall management system by combing the relevant regulations, guidelines and notices of food allergen recall in Australia, and then analyzed the current situation of food allergen recalls in Australia according to the data on food allergen recalls in Australia from 1998 to April 2020. The food allergen recall management system in Australia combined the design of "top-down" and "bottom-up", forming a closed loop system, but companies’ allergen label management still needed to be improved. Finally, this paper put forward policy suggestions in establishing a relatively independent food allergen management system; clarifying the range of food allergens on the national physique; improving food allergen recall plans and guidelines; constructing feedback mechanism, etc..
