Allergen Labeling

In the United States, food allergen labeling is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration with the implementation of the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act in 2006 that requires packaged foods to clearly indicate the presence of any milk, egg, peanut, tree nuts, wheat, soybeans, fish, and crustacean shellfish. Educating patients and their families how to read food labels includes reading the ingredients list as well as the declaration statement that begins with “Contains.” In addition, there is widespread use of precautionary advisory labeling, and patients should be counseled that these precautionary statements are not mandatory and not regulated and, therefore, do not necessarily identify foods with allergen contamination. An allergic reaction to undeclared food allergens as well as complacency with label reading, including precautionary advisory statements, remains a relevant risk for patients with food allergy.

Action Levels

Abstract Food allergen labeling regulations have been implemented in several countries since 2006. Currently, experts are still discussing the introduction of thresholds or action levels, which should lead to the reduction of the widespread use of advisory statements (e.g., may contain) for the benefit of the allergic consumer. However, the establishment of threshold requires supporting analytical methodologies to enforce and comply with the regulations. This article discusses the possibilities and limitations of existing and emerging methodologies for the purpose of enabling compliance with and enforcement of allergen action levels.
