Hi all, I am working in an grain and legume company. Our situation is that due to farming practices (crop rotation), we often (or always) find cross contamination (from a few kernels to sometimes a few percent)of wheat in certain varieties of products. It is also impossible to clean out all the wheat due to the same density and kernel size. According to United State FDA regulation, Wheat is considered a major food allergen, and shall be labeled if it is an "Ingredient" within your product. It also defines "Cross-Contact" but not "Cross Contamination". So my questions is regarding labeling law, if it is regulated to label “Contains Wheat” if it is cross contamination from the field not part of the ingredient? What is everybody's thought and if anybody has a better understanding of FALCPA requirements. Thank you!
