Canadian Law to Require Allergen Labeling
If you're one of the millions of Canadians who suffer from food allergies, a new law will ensure you do not have to worry about potential allergens when drinking wine. Starting next year, some wines will carry a warning label with the words "Contains Eggs, Fish, or Dairy," as well as a sulfite declaration.
The law, announced by Health Canada, the country's department of health, is set to go into effect in the summer of 2012. It requires wines--both imported and domestic--that contain allergen-causing proteins to state the ingredients in common language. Instead of saying isinglass, albumin and casein, the labels must say fish, eggs, and dairy, respectively.
