Ingredient/Allergen Statements: |
|
|
On January 1, 2006, the FDA mandated that all packaged foods regulated under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFD&C Act) must comply with the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (FALCPA). Consequently, a food product containing any of the eight major food allergens (milk, egg, fish, Crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts and soybeans), must declare their presence on the label. While laboratories and consultants routinely charge extra for these statements, LabelCalc’s Allergen Alerts feature automatically flags potential ingredient allergens as part of the process.
