**Food allergen avoidance is a critical part of preventing allergic reactions. Understanding how to read a food label is necessary to
effectively avoid any food to which one might be allergic. Reading the ingredient list and any warning labels are the most important.
Packaged and processed foods often contain many ingredients and sometimes they are not labelled in a straightforward way. This can
make reading food ingredient labels difficult and it may be hard to know how a particular ingredient relates to the allergen. Some common
food allergens are listed using technical names instead of their everyday ones. For example, sodium caseinate can be used to indicate that
a product contains a milk protein called casein. Food manufacturers are required to list all ingredients in the food on the label and are
listed in order of predominance, with the ingredients used in the greatest amount first, followed in descending order by those in smaller
amounts. Refer back to the Food Allergies & Intolerances & Vegan Cross-Contact Prevention Fact Sheet for specific ingredients to look for.
