Allergen Reporting Guidelines

Federal regulations have identified nine major food allergens: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soybeans, tree nuts, and wheat.

Highly refined oil, even if derived from one of the major food allergen groups such as soybeans, is exempt. Therefore, highly refined soybean oil is not considered a common allergen.

Suppliers and restaurants may prepare many different foods in the same facility. Moreover, certain foods may be prepared or cooked using shared equipment. Fried foods, for example, are cooked in common oil.

As such, foods made without a declared food allergen may be exposed to cross-contamination by coming into contact with other items that contain allergens.

Nutrition facts, prices, and ingredients are based on available information as of the date of publication. Restaurants and food manufacturers may change their recipes without notice. Check directly with the food provider for the most up-to-date information. NutritionandIngredients.com does not provide health or wellness advice or dietary recommendations.
