Extra foods your country requires
There is no globally approved allergen list, because each country sets its own. The Codex General Standard for the labelling of prepackaged foods (CXS 1-1985) is the UN baseline many national laws build on. Its core list, as amended in 2024, is wheat, rye and barley, crustacea, egg, fish, peanut, milk, sesame, almond, cashew, hazelnut, pecan, pistachio, walnut, and sulphite at 10 mg/kg or more.
Codex also lists foods to declare where national rules require them: buckwheat, celery, oats, lupin, mustard, soy, Brazil nut, macadamia and pine nut. Switch on any your country requires and they become columns in the chart.
If you are in the United States, Canada, the UK, the EU, Australia, New Zealand or India, use that preset instead, because the lists differ. Anywhere else, check your local list and switch on the foods it adds.
A C comes only from the allergens you tagged. An M is cross-contact you chose to declare. Codex adopted guidance on precautionary "may contain" labelling in 2026, which says to use it only after assessing the risk.
No. Each country sets its own list. Codex CXS 1-1985 is the international baseline, and this preset lets you add the foods your country adds.
In the 2024 Codex amendment, soy and oats are in the list of foods to declare where national rules require them, not in the core list. Switch them on if your country requires them.
The Codex Alimentarius is a set of international food standards run by the FAO and WHO. Countries often base their own food rules on it.
