allergen warning

Ingredient hazard alert

An allergen warning is a notice on food packaging or restaurant menus alerting consumers to ingredients that commonly trigger allergic reactions—nuts, dairy, shellfish, gluten, eggs, soy.

Required by law in many jurisdictions, these warnings help people with food allergies avoid potentially dangerous exposures: Check the allergen warning before ordering.
