The Science Behind Food Labeling: Uncovering the Importance of Allergen Warnings

Allergen warnings on food labels are critical measures designed to protect consumers who have had an allergic reaction to specific food ingredients. Food allergic reactions range from mild discomfort to potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis. Globally, many people, especially children, are affected by food allergies.

In the U.S., the Food Allergy Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) requires that food manufacturers must clearly indicate on product labels if the product contains or may contain any of the following eight major food allergens. These allergens include:

  1. cow's milk
  2. egg
  3. fish
  4. Shellfish
  5. nuts
  6. peanuts
  7. Wheat
  8. soybeans

These ingredients are responsible for approximately 90% of allergic reactions to U.S. foods. By warning of these allergens on the label, consumers with a history of allergies can identify and avoid foods that may cause health problems before consumption. This type of labeling is extremely important for allergy sufferers, ensuring food transparency and consumer health and safety.
