allergen labels
Food sensitivity notices
Allergen labels are the warnings on food packaging that identify ingredients known to cause allergic reactions—peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, and sesame being the most commonly required.
Regulations vary by country, but most mandate clear disclosure: Contains: milk, soy or May contain traces of peanuts.
The labels help people with food allergies avoid potentially dangerous exposures.
