How will the term “dairy-free” be used under FALCPA?
The FDA regulations authorize the use of “nondairy” but do not specifically address the labeling of “dairy-free.” FALCPA does not change the requirements for the use of “nondairy,” and this terminology will continue to appear on products that contain caseinates as ingredients. The caseinates must be listed in the ingredient statement with a parenthetical such as “(a milk derivative).” Back to the top 17. I heard there will be a petition process whereby, if a company can prove that there is not enough allergen to produce a reaction, the ingredient does not have to be on the label.
