Current allergen guidelines require labeling MILK, but not DAIRY. Consumers who are sensitive to lactose may be sensitive from many dairy ingredients, not just the actual milk.
Similarly, WHEAT is a required allergen label but GLUTEN isn't. Someone who is trying to avoid gluten in their diet might mistakenly consume a product with barley or rye, because only wheat has to be declared.
The allergen declaration should include or be updated to list dairy and gluten, respectively.
