Summary of FDA Reporting Guidelines

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

It’s important to note that certain foods may be prepared or cooked using shared equipment.

Fried foods, for example, may be cooked in common oil in a shared fryer. Accordingly, even foods made without a declared allergen may come into contact with or contain allergens through cross-contamination.

Note that highly refined oil, even if derived from one of the major food allergen groups such as refined soybean oil, is exempted from federal regulation guidelines.
