Allergens Allergen information for the 8 major allergens and sesame isrequired. Sesame is exempt from being declared until the FDA requirement goes into effecton January 1, 2023, so labeling of sesame as an allergen will not be required untilthat time. If a declaration for sesame is available, it can be shared at any time using theAllergen Type Code ‘Sesame Seeds and Their Derivatives (AS)’. 1WorldSync
Allergens The Level of Containment Code must be identified for each allergen Contains – the allergen is found in the product. May Contain – the allergen may be found in the product due to potential crosscontamination by using a shared processing facility with other products thatcontain that allergen. Free From – an analysis has been completed to verify the allergen is not found inthe product. Not intentionally or inherently included – the allergen is not found in the product,but an analysis was not completed to verify that the allergen is not present. Ananalysis is not required because the allergen was not added during processingand is not inherently or naturally found in the product. Undeclared* – the vendor has decided not to declare the allergen as present ornot present for the product.*FNS does not recommend this entry as it may impact a school district’s willingness topurchase this material. Before selecting this declaration, please contact USDAFoods@usda.govto determine if another declaration would be appropriate. 1WorldSync
