Why Pine Nuts Are Not Highlighted on Food Products: Understanding EU Allergen Regulations

Are you confused about why pine nuts are not in bold on food products? Join Professor Adam Fox and Simon Williams from Anaphylaxis UK as they explain the European Union's allergen labelling regulations. When the EU legislation was first developed, they aimed to list the 14 most important allergens, and these are the ones that must be in bold on ingredient lists. However, this means that some common allergies, such as those to lentils, peas, and pine nuts, are not on the list and are not required to be in bold. But don't worry, manufacturers still have to list these allergens in the ingredients list, even if it's not in bold. Watch this informative video to learn more about EU allergen labelling regulations and how to stay safe with food allergies.
