FDA to Host Public Meeting on Food Allergen Thresholds to Guide Possible Developments
In November 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will host a three-day, virtual public meeting on food allergen thresholds and their potential applications. The public meeting will feature presentations and panel discussions by invited speakers on November 18, followed by listening sessions on November 19–20.
Input received during the public meeting will help FDA determine next steps, establish priorities, and develop food allergen threshold approaches that benefit public health.
FDA is hosting the public meeting in light of recent scientific developments on allergen thresholds that have prompted FDA to explore how allergen thresholds can improve food safety, enhance labeling practices, and help consumers make more informed choices. Stakeholders, including industry, consumer groups, and healthcare professionals, have expressed interest in food allergen thresholds and their potential applications.
Additional meeting details and registration information will be provided in September 2025.
Update, September 16, 2025: FDA has opened registration, which can be accessed on the meeting page.
