The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) was passed by Congress to ensure that there would be clearer labeling of food for the millions of people with food allergies.
As of January 01, 2006, all food products regulated by the FDA must be labeled in a specific way to identify the eight major food allergens: milk, egg, fish, crustacean shell fish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts and soybeans.
Sign this petition to help those who suffer with food allergies and their families eat safely and without fear of cross contamination.
"May contain" and "manufactured on" labels will help allergy families breathe easier and assist them in keeping themselves and others safe.
