Overview of FDA Guidelines
Read through this short section for a better understanding of which foods are recognized by the FDA as major allergens.
Federal regulations have identified nine major food allergens: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soybeans, tree nuts, and wheat.
Highly refined oils, even if derived from one of the major food allergen groups, are exempted from federal regulations. Refined soybean oil, for example, is not considered a common allergen.
Restaurants and food manufacturers may prepare or cook foods using shared equipment.
Fried foods, for example, are often cooked in common oil and a shared fryer that may also be used to cook fish and foods made with wheat, milk, or other allergens.
Because of the shared space, tools, and ingredients, there is a chance that any food may contain trace amounts of allergens due to risk of cross contamination.
Nutrition facts, prices, and ingredients are based on available information as of the date of publication. Restaurants and food manufacturers may change recipes or formulations without notice. Check package labels and ask the product manufacturer or restaurant for the most up-to-date information. Unless otherwise stated, %DV is based on a 2,000 calorie diet.
