In the U.S. companies are supposed to clearly list on the label if a product contains one of the top 8 allergens. The most common food allergies are:
- Milk
- Wheat
- Eggs
- Peanuts
- Tree Nuts
- Fish
- Shellfish
- Soy
This list contains allergen-free snacks, but companies sometimes change ingredients or may begin processing other products that contain allergens in the same facility. Always double-check the label to look for changes, and when in doubt, you can contact the manufacturer with questions.
