Subject: Food labeling on allergens

As a member of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, I urge you to
invest more resources to ensure that:

        food labels  completely and accurately list the presence of all
known allergens, including those used in flavorings;

        food manufacturers adopt measures to prevent the
unintentional contamination of their products with
undeclared food allergens;

        food manufacturers include a toll-free telephone number on
        their labels that consumers can call for more information
about ingredients.
