Nine foods cause 90% of all food allergic reactions – peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, cow’s milk, eggs, soybeans, sesame and wheat. If these ingredients are in a food product, manufacturers must say so, no matter how small the amount.

albumin (egg)
egg albumin
contains egg – at the end of the ingredient list
sugar, chocolate, eggs – in bold type in the ingredient list.
‘May contain traces of’
Manufacturers might include this warning if a food is made on the same equipment as, or close to, other foods that contain potential food allergens.

It’s important to talk to your GP or dietitian about this issue if your child has a food allergy
