Dietary avoidance has become somewhat easier to follow with standardized labeling of the eight most common food allergens (peanut, tree nuts, milk, egg, soy, wheat, fish, and shellfish) on most packaged foods in the USA since 2006. However, advisory labeling can become confusing for patients when phrases such as “may contain” and “processed in a facility” are used. These types of precautionary labels are not standardized and therefore not all products with potential for cross-contamination are similarly identified. At times, patients allergic to peanut and tree nut are able to tolerate various products labeled with these discretionary phrases, but not others labeled with similar statements.","divisions":[{"label":"title","span":{"begin":0,"end":17}}],"tracks":[]}
