Dairy Alternative Allergen Labeling
Dairy-free does not mean allergen-free—read contains lines for soy, nuts, pea, sesame, and gluten cross-contact on every brand.
Dairy alternative allergen labeling requires reading contains statements for soy, tree nuts, peanuts, and sesame—even when the product is dairy-free. Pea protein milks may be nut-free but not soy-free.
Oat milks may share facilities with wheat. Vegan cheese often lists cashew or coconut.
Cross-contact risks differ by brand, not category. Athletes with multiple allergies need brand-specific safe lists, not assumptions.
