Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When labeling food allergens on food prepared for individual retail sale, you must label any ingredients, oils, or trace ingredients which the food item comes into contact with which are considered allergens by the FDA. The FDA recognizes 8 major food allergen groups: Milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, and wheat. These groups must be labeled and clearly specified on all foods distributed for retail sale. As even trace amounts of nuts or other such allergens in foods can trigger allergic reactions in those with allergies, these items must be clearly labeled to ensure consumer safety.
