Allergen Declaration
Category: Compliance
Definition (plain English)
The required disclosure of regulated allergens in ingredients, contains statements, cross-contact warnings, and label formatting for the destination market.
Why it matters commercially
Allergen errors create direct consumer-safety risk, recall exposure, retailer rejection, and loss of trust for imported food products.
Example
A buyer held artwork approval until the supplier confirmed milk and soy allergens, possible sesame cross-contact, and local bolding requirements on the label.
Common mistake
Using the supplier domestic allergen wording without checking destination allergen lists, translations, cross-contact policy, and ingredient changes.
