Allergen labeling rules and cross contamination concerns
Pistiner notes re calls are low risk as undeclared allergens are often tiny, but comfort is the main risk. FARE estimates 15 million Americans have food allergies including 13 children, with eight foods causing most cases: peanuts tree nuts milk eggs wheat soy fish and shellfish. Since 2006 laws require labeling on ingredients but not on cross contamination in shared facilities or equipment.
