Thanks for sharing. Not a bad article, but it would have been better if it had noted that FALCPA doesn't require shared facility/may contains labeling. The article briefly mentioned that there's no clear standard for the allergen warning labeling but again didn't tie that to FALCPA.

On another note, that boy wouldn't be able to eat any Ben and Jerry's ice cream with an egg allergy.

I'd sure love to see the total number of recalls of ICE CREAMS (any brand) . . . seems to be a frequent recall item . . .
