Food Allergy
Food allergies affect an estimated six to seven million persons in the United States. Some of these sensitized
consumers can develop serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if exposed to the allergenic proteins.
The food industry has taken numerous steps over the past several years to address the needs of food allergic
consumers, including improving labeling standards and implementing changes to manufacturing processes to reduce
the potential for cross contact with major food allergens.
