Subject: food allergens

Importance: High

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.


These are people's lives we're dealing with here, and it's way past time to do something positive and constructive in this effort!!
