History

Historical Context

The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act, enacted in 2004 and effective from January 1, 2006, mandates clear labeling of eight major allergens, including wheat. This legislation arose from rising food allergy awareness, affecting about 5% of infants and 3-4% of adults in the U.S. The recent Häagen-Dazs recall underscores ongoing compliance challenges, emphasizing the need for accurate labeling to protect consumers.
