MFAL 8: How should major food allergens be listed on an alcohol beverage label?
In the case of a tree nut, the name must be listed as the specific type of nut (for example, almonds, pecans, or walnuts). In the case of Crustacean shellfish, the name must be listed as the species of Crustacean shellfish (for example, crab, lobster, or shrimp). In the case of fish, the species is not listed; the allergen is listed simply as “fish.” The terms “egg” and “peanuts”, as well as the names of the different types of tree nuts, may be expressed in either the singular or plural form. Furthermore, the term “soy,” “soybean,” or “soya” may be used instead of “soybeans.
