Summary: An individual from the Bay Area is requesting that the FDA mandate clear labeling of all animal-derived ingredients in food products. They argue that such transparency is necessary for consumers with life-threatening allergies, health concerns, or specific ethical and religious beliefs.
PLEASE …
A recent survey reveals that Americans overwhelmingly want to know, but —under current U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) labeling requirements — disturbingly cannot tell when their food contains animal-derived ingredients.
This issue is important because life-threatening allergies such as alpha-gal syndrome can be triggered by even trace amounts of animal-derived ingredients. Consumers may also have other allergies, health concerns, or closely held ethical or religious beliefs that prohibit their consumption of foods that contain animal-derived ingredients.
PLEASE LABEL ALL ANIMAL INGREDIENTS IN PRODUCTS SOLD IN THE USA FOR ALL AMERICANS TO MAKE MORE INFORMED CHOICES!
Thank you for your consideration
Sincerely, LD
Bay Area, CA
