The draft guidance takes into account sesame as a food allergen, as the FASTER Act adds sesame to the list of major food allergens effective January 1, 2023.

Specifically, the draft guidance includes new questions and answers about food allergen labeling requirements, such as the labeling of sesame, milk, and eggs; the labeling of major food allergens in the labeling of dietary supplement products; and other technical labeling issues. Also revised in the draft guidance are questions and answers to update and clarify information presented in earlier editions of the final guidance, such as the labeling of tree nuts, fish, and crustacean shellfish. Finally, the draft guidance includes images that show examples of labeling requirements.

Comments about the draft guidance should be submitted within 60 days of publication of the notice in the Federal Register. Written comments, identified by Docket ID FDA-2022-D-0099, can also be mailed to: Dockets Management Staff, Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.
