Summary: An individual with Alpha Gal syndrome argues that current labeling practices are insufficient and potentially life-threatening for people with severe food allergies. They advocate for specific ingredient labeling (e.g., bovine, swine, poultry) to replace vague terms like "all natural."
I have Alpha Gal syndrome and it could be fatal if I consume animal products, we (alpha gals) need food, medication, hygiene products, ALL products to have clear labels of ingredients, not “all natural” or other unclear listings that put our lives at risk. When products use those types of labels we do not know if they are “all natural” animal based or plant based. A more detailed label of: bovine/beef, swine/pork, poultry etc is extremely important for people with many conditions and we deserve to know what we are getting in every product on the market.
