The Act requires that food labels must clearly identify the food source names of any ingredients that are one of the major food allergens or contain any protein derived from a major food allergen.As a result, food labels help allergic consumers identify offending foods or ingredients so they can more easily avoid them.<\/p>\n<h3>Video: Food Allergies &#8211; Reducing the Risks<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PXxZlcrGFP0\" width=\"713\" height=\"430\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; margin-bottom: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<h3>Know the Symptoms<\/h3>\n<p>Symptoms of food allergies typically appear from within a few minutes to\u00a0 2 hours after a person has eaten the food to which he or she is allergic. <strong>Allergic reactions can include: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hives<\/li>\n<li>Flushed skin or rash<\/li>\n<li>Tingling or itchy sensation in the mouth<\/li>\n<li>Face, tongue, or lip swelling<\/li>\n<li>Vomiting and\/or diarrhea<\/li>\n<li>Abdominal cramps<\/li>\n<li>Coughing or wheezing<\/li>\n<li>Dizziness and\/or lightheadedness<\/li>\n<li>Swelling of the throat\u00a0and vocal cords<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty breathing<\/li>\n<li>Loss of consciousness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"clear: both; margin-bottom: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"  style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19285 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/foodsafetytrainingcertification.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/allergies_allergen_child_food_illness_safety_008_shutterstock_628492325.jpg\" alt=\"allergies_allergen_child_food_illness_safety\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" srcset=\"http:\/\/foodsafetytrainingcertification.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/allergies_allergen_child_food_illness_safety_008_shutterstock_628492325.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/foodsafetytrainingcertification.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/allergies_allergen_child_food_illness_safety_008_shutterstock_628492325-250x200.jpg 250w, http:\/\/foodsafetytrainingcertification.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/allergies_allergen_child_food_illness_safety_008_shutterstock_628492325-113x90.jpg 113w, http:\/\/foodsafetytrainingcertification.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/allergies_allergen_child_food_illness_safety_008_shutterstock_628492325-768x614.jpg 768w, http:\/\/foodsafetytrainingcertification.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/allergies_allergen_child_food_illness_safety_008_shutterstock_628492325-696x557.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t<figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\" >\n\t\t\t<span class=\"media-credit\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-vector\/cartoon-character-showing-most-common-food-628492325\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" >Image Source: Shutterstock<\/a><\/span>\t\t<\/figcaption>\n\t<\/figure>\n\n<div style=\"clear: both; margin-bottom: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<h3>More Severe Food Allergy Symptoms<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Initially mild symptoms that occur after ingesting a food allergen are not always a measure of mild severity.
