As a member of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, I urge you to
invest more resources to ensure that:
        *food labels completely and accurately list the presence of all
known
           allergens, including those used in flavorings;
         * food manufacturers adopt measures to prevent the unintentional
            contamination of their products with undeclared food allergens;
and
          * food manufacturers include a toll-free telephone number on their
labels
             that consumers can call for more information about ingredients.
