allergy warning

Ingredient hazard alert

An allergy warning is a notice on food packaging or restaurant menus alerting consumers that a product contains or may contain common allergens—nuts, dairy, eggs, shellfish, wheat, soy.

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