Reading labels to avoid allergens has become a lot easier. Foods that contain milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, or soy products must list the food in plain language on the ingredient list. For example, casein (milk). These possible allergens must be listed even if they are part of a flavoring, coloring, or spice blend.
Milk products are a primary source of calcium, riboflavin, and vitamin D. It is important to either take supplements or substitute foods high in these nutrients.
