My daughter-in-law has severe allergies to citrus and nuts.  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; and
*food manufactures include a toll-free telephone number on their labels that
consumers can call for more information about ingredients.
