Food Allergen Labeling

Food allergen labeling is the practice of clearly indicating specific ingredients in a food product that can cause allergic reactions, such as nuts, milk, soy, or eggs. This information helps consumers with food allergies make safe choices and avoid potentially life-threatening reactions. Labeling is regulated by food safety authorities and typically appears on packaging as a list of common allergens within the ingredient statement, often highlighted for visibility. Proper allergen labeling promotes transparency, consumer awareness, and helps protect individuals with allergies from accidental exposure.
