The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released a final guidance document titled "Evaluating the Public Health Importance of Food Allergens Other Than the Major Food Allergens Listed in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act." This guidance outlines how the FDA plans to assess the public health significance of food allergens not already classified as major allergens, like milk or peanuts. It focuses mostly on allergies caused by IgE antibodies known to trigger severe allergic reactions. The FDA also made updates in response to feedback, including changes related to non-IgE-mediated allergies and new data references.
Simple Explanation
The FDA made a new guide to help figure out how important certain food allergies are, like for foods not on the main allergy list like milk or peanuts. They want to be extra careful about how they decide if other foods can make people sick and made some updates to the guide based on people's ideas, but the instructions can be hard to understand.
