Quick Overview of FDA Guidelines

The United States FDA regulates nine major food allergens: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soybeans, tree nuts, and wheat.

Highly refined oil, even if derived from a particular allergen group, is exempted from federal regulation. For example, refined soybean oil is not considered a common allergen.

In addition, certain foods may be prepared or cooked using shared equipment. Fried foods are typically cooked in a shared fryer with common oil.

As such, some foods made without a declared food allergen may contain or come into contact with allergens through cross contamination.
