If a product contains any of the top nine allergens under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA), the allergen would be listed in the product label’s ingredient statement. The top nine allergens include peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, wheat, soybeans, and sesame. To help consumers spot these allergen ingredients easier, we recently began adding an allergen “contains” statement in bold after the ingredient statement on our product labels and website product pages. You will see this on our products in the near future. We also recommend consumers check the ingredient and allergen statements before purchasing and using the products as formulas may have changed.

When you need a lighter coating, Tempura Batter Mix is ideal for all kinds of fried appetizers and desserts too! From shrimp to veggies, and even fruit–just add water, dip your favorite foods, and make them crispy.
