Shortly thereafter, the National Food Processors Assoc. released an industry "Code of Practice" for managing food allergens, calling for NFPA members to:

Label, in terms consumers can understand, major food allergens.

Use good manufacturing practices (GMPs) and allergen-control strategies to minimize potential cross contact of major food allergens.
-
If GMPs or other allergen-control strategies are unreliable, ingredient declarations or supplementary information would be appropriate.
-
Continue to develop processing, analytical and operational strategies to reduce the risk to allergic consumers of ingesting food allergens.
