Which of the following is not one of the eight major food allergens required to be listed on product labels under FALCPA?

• A. Fish
• B. Wheat
• C. Soy
• D. Corn

Answer: (D)

Under FALCPA, eight major allergens must be declared on product labels: milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soy. This means any product containing any of those ingredients must clearly identify them in the ingredient list or in a separate allergen disclosure. Corn is not on that mandated list, so corn itself isn’t required to be labeled as an allergen under FALCPA. (If a product contains corn-derived ingredients, they must still be listed in the ingredient statement, but corn wouldn’t be a federally mandated allergen disclosure.)
