Allergen labeling regulations

Allergen labeling regulations require food manufacturers to clearly identify common allergens in their products to help individuals with allergies make safe choices. These allergens, such as peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish, and shellfish, must be listed on packaging, usually in bold or highlighted text. The goal is to provide transparency and prevent allergic reactions by ensuring consumers are informed about potential allergens present in the food they buy. Compliance with these regulations is essential for food safety and consumer protection.
