Data in the US shows that more than 40 percent of food recalls are the result of undeclared allergens. Many of these recalls are caused by incorrect labeling or unintended contamination with food allergens.

Hence, food producers and manufacturers should study their practices to ensure they are clearly declaring allergens on labels in addition to preventing cross-contamination during the manufacturing process. So, knowing the allergens of concern is the first step in preventing this increasing issue.
