People with food allergies and sensitivities should beware. Recently, foods containing eggs, soy and milk proteins, nuts and other ingredients have been recalled. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is putting increasing pressure on the food industry to declare every allergen on package labels, even though there are some exemptions to Canada's food label regulations. In some cases, a company that sells sandwiches with a prepared dressing may be exempt from listing the ingredients in the dressing, even if those ingredients can cause allergic reactions. A spokeswoman for the advocacy group Anaphylaxis Canada (whose daughter died from an allergic reaction), says that companies have an ethical responsibility to list every ingredient that could spark an allergic reaction.
