#### Ingredients intentionally added

FALCPA requires companies to disclose on the label whether a packaged food product contains any of these eight major food allergens, added intentionally: cow's milk, peanuts, eggs, shellfish, fish, tree nuts, soy and wheat. This list originated in 1999 from the World Health Organisation Codex Alimentarius Commission. To meet FALCPA labeling requirements, if an ingredient is derived from one of the required\-label allergens, then it must either have its "food sourced name" in parentheses, for example "Casein (milk)," or as an alternative, there must be a statement separate but adjacent to the ingredients list: "Contains milk" (and any other of the allergens with mandatory labeling). The European Union requires listing for those eight major allergens plus molluscs, [celery](/wiki/Celery "Celery"), mustard, lupin, sesame and [sulfites](/wiki/Sulfite "Sulfite"). In Japan, a food\-labeling system for five specific allergenic ingredients (egg, milk, wheat, buckwheat, peanut) was mandated under law on April 1, 2002\. Additional labeling of shrimp/prawn and crab became mandatory in 2008\. This applies to packaged food, but not to restaurants.


Are there any specific labeling requirements for products with multiple allergens?
