Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA)
Resource Center

Welcome to the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) Resource Center

This portal is provided by Ross Enterprise to help food processors gain a clear understanding of the current requirements of the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) and learn about practical solutions to address these requirements. The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (FALCPA) (Public Law 108-282) was enacted in August 2004, and addresses, among other issues, the labeling of foods that contain certain food allergens. FALCPA will require, beginning 1/1/06, that food manufacturers identify, in plain, common language, the presence of any of the 8 major food allergens (Milk, Egg, Peanut, Tree Nut, Fish, Shellfish, Wheat, Soy). The legislation will also require food labels to indicate the presence of major food allergens used in flavorings, spices, additives, and colorings.
