FDA to Discuss Allergen Thresholds in Three-Day Public Meeting
Monday, August 25, 2025
  • FDA will hold a virtual public meeting on November 18-20, 2025, to discuss food allergen thresholds and their potential applications. The first day of the meeting will feature presentations and panel discussions from invited stakeholders, followed by listening sessions on the remaining two days.
  • Based on recent scientific developments in food allergen thresholds, FDA is exploring how the thresholds can “improve food safety, enhance labeling practices, and help consumers make more informed choices.” Industry, consumer groups, and healthcare professionals are among the stakeholders who have expressed interest in food allergen thresholds and their applications. FDA is seeking input to determine next steps, establish priorities, and develop food allergen threshold approaches to benefit public health.
  • FDA recently published two guidance documents on food allergens in January 2025, as we previously blogged. These guidance documents provided FDA’s latest thinking on what is considered a “milk,” “egg,” or “tree nut” allergen, as well as FDA’s general approach when evaluating the public health importance of food allergens that are not a “major food allergen.”
  • FDA will provide additional meeting details, registration information, and a public docket for written comments in September 2025.
