Allergen declarations under FSSAI rules

Regulation 5(14) of the Food Safety and Standards (Labelling and Display) Regulations 2020 says foods known to cause allergy are declared separately as "Contains" followed by their names: cereals containing gluten (wheat, rye, barley, oats, spelt), crustacean, milk, egg, fish, nut (peanuts and tree nuts), soy, and sulphite at 10 mg/kg or more.

The names to use

Gluten cereals are declared by the name of the cereal, such as wheat. The others use the group name: Crustacean, Milk, Egg, Fish, Nut, Soy and Sulphite. Peanuts and tree nuts are both declared as Nut.

Cross-contact

Where an allergen may be present through cross-contamination, the regulation allows a separate "May contain" declaration. The FSSAI FAQ says similar wording such as "May contain traces of" can be used.

What this label does not cover

A full FSSAI label for packaged food needs more than allergens, such as the licence number, the veg or non-veg logo, nutrition information and dates. Use these labels for the allergen part and check the rest of your label against the regulations.

Frequently asked questions

What is the FSSAI format for allergens?

Declared separately as "Contains" followed by the names, for example "Contains Wheat, Milk, Nut". Cross-contact can be shown as "May contain".

Does it add the veg or non-veg logo?
