A member asked:
What does 'nutrition labelling exempted' mean when plastered over supermarket products? if i have food allergies, should i avoid these products?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would: Nutrition labels of a variety of food products are now required to provide a visible listing of any content of the most common 8 foods known to cause allergic events. If they have found a loophole to sell a product without such disclosure, I would avoid the product. The alternative is taking the risk of a food reaction to what may be a minor or unexpected additive.
