Undeclared Allergens

Undeclared allergens in food products are determined through laboratory testing.  The consumption of an allergen can cause mild to severe reactions in an individual and even death.  There are eight foods that have been determined by the FDA to be the “Big Eight” allergens:  Peanuts, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, wheat, tree nuts, and soybeans.  Products containing undeclared allergens are subject to recall and can be relabeled to identify the allergen. 10(Food Facts – February 2007FDA.govwww.fda.gov/downloads/ Food/ResourcesForYou/.../UCM079428.pdf -)
