NEW! Hidden Allergen Names on Labels (with Travel-Size Cards)
Allergens may be lurking in labels under unfamiliar names. Would you know to search for "lysozyme" if your child is allergic to eggs? Or "arachis" if your child is allergic to peanuts? Refer to KFA’s avoidance lists when shopping for your food-allergic child. Remember: a product’s ingredient list can change without warning, so read all labels carefully before consumption, even if it has been eaten safely in the past.
Many foods and products are not covered by FDA food allergen labeling laws, so it is important to know how to read labels for the hidden names for allergens. Products that are exempt from plain English labeling rules include foods that are not regulated by the FDA, cosmetics and personal care products, prescription and over-the-counter medications or supplements, pet food, toys and crafts.
