Food Safety and Food Labeling; Presence and Labeling of Allergens in Foods

الملخص

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a public meeting on the labeling of food products containing allergens. The purpose of the meeting is to stimulate discussion and to obtain information to help FDA determine what additional actions may be necessary to provide consumers with adequate information on product labels. The meeting will focus on: Source or plain English labeling; advisory labeling (e.g., "May contain [name of food allergen]"); and labeling of ingredients exempted from declaration (common or usual names of flavorings, spices, and colors; incidental additives).
