comprehensive allergen labeling

Comprehensive allergen labeling means food products clearly list all ingredients that could cause allergic reactions, such as nuts, dairy, soy, or gluten. This helps consumers who have food allergies or sensitivities quickly identify dangerous ingredients. Regulations require labels to specify these allergens prominently, often in bold or separate statements, ensuring people can make safe choices. Proper labeling reduces the risk of allergic reactions by providing transparent, accurate information about what is in the food. It’s a critical aspect of food safety that protects health and supports informed decision-making for individuals with allergies.
