I can easily tell which foods trigger my allergies

The 2004 Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act made it easier to read food labels and quickly determine whats safe to eat and what isn t. The federal law requires warnings written in plain English for the eight most threatening food allergens: wheat, soy, milk, peanut, tree nut, shellfish, fish, and egg.he 2004 law also doesn t require manufacturers to declare allergenic ingredients introduced through cross contact, such as cooking a food in peanut oil or eating food cut with the same utensils that were used to prepare fish. The FDA is working on ways to standardize food labeling so that they are more uniform and even clearer for consumers.
