***All FDA-regulated manufactured food products that contain a “major food allergen” (dairy, egg, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish) as an ingredient are required by U.S. law to list that allergen on the product label. For tree nuts, fish, and shellfish, the specific type of nut or fish must be listed. However, regularly reading all ingredient lists is highly recommended for extra precaution.***
