Tell the FDA: Corn Needs to be Included in the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act
This petition had 1,321 supporters
Unlabeled Corn Allergens in food and medicine threaten the health and general safety of many Americans. The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) has made it much easier to to avoid any of the eight allergens the FDA refers to as the "Most Common Allergens," but it is in need of a revision. Those allergens currently included in the FALCPA are: Milk, Eggs, Peanuts, Tree nuts, Soy, Wheat, Fish, and Shellfish.
Corn Allergens are not required to be labeled, and may be hidden under the name of Citric Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Tocopherols, "Natural Flavors," and many other ingredients.
When there are ingredients in a product that are derived from Corn, it should be a requirement to list their source, just as it is for the other common allergens.
We need more information to make clear, healthy choices for ourselves and our family.
