allergy warnings

Food sensitivity notices

Allergy warnings are notices on food packaging, menus, or product labels alerting consumers to ingredients that commonly trigger allergic reactions—nuts, dairy, eggs, shellfish, wheat, soy.

Required by law in many jurisdictions, they protect people with potentially life-threatening sensitivities: Check the allergy warnings before you eat that.

The phrase extends to any cautionary note about possible adverse reactions.
