Federal food safety regulators warned a top U.S. bakery for using labels with allergens that weren't in the foods, stating that such products are 'misbranded' under FDA regulations.
FDA emphasized that allergen labeling is not a substitute for preventing cross-contamination in factories, highlighting the importance of accuracy to protect consumers with food allergies.
FARE advocates criticized the misleading labeling, mentioning it does a disservice to the 33 million Americans with food allergies, impacting their health and choice limitations.
The bakery, Bimbo Bakeries USA, claimed to take allergen sensitivities seriously and is working with FDA to address the issue after the warning letter.
