Create a regulation that requires food and drug manufacturers to follow a consistent labeling method regarding allergens

Created by J.R. on November 13, 2012

The government needs to recognize food allergies as a serious , life-threatening issue, and therefore should be required to standardize the food allergen labeling process for all food and drug manufacturers. This regulation should specifically apply to the issue of cross-contamination of not only the top eight food allergens, but sesame as well. Manufacturers should be required to state on the packaging of all products if the product was manufactured not only on equipment that processes top allergens including sesame, regardless of cleaning procedures, but also if the product was manufactured in a facility that processes top allergens including sesame, regardless of procedures in place to segregate ingredients.
