According to the United States FDA news, on June 18th, the United States FDA released the final guidance documents, to help food manufacturers to apply for allergen exemption logo.

However, when food manufacturers further process food allergens, they will not constitute a threat to allergic people, so that allergic people will have more choices.

According to the provisions, in the hope that exemption from the components of a particular allergen labeling, producers are required to submit: a provide scientific information on the petition for that containing the main allergen product does not cause allergic reactions, no health threat; a notice that provided scientific information, to prove the material does not contain protein allergy.
