Trace Ingredients and Cross-Contamination

Trace Ingredients and Cross-Contamination

Trace ingredients are components that may or may not be present in a food item due to manufacturing processes. Manufacturers frequently place a warning label on products if there is a risk of cross-contamination with a known allergen, or if the product is processed on shared equipment.

The Chomp database tracks over 600 trace ingredients across multiple languages to identify potential cross-contamination risks.
