What trace ingredients do you track?

Trace ingredients are ingredients that may or may not be in a food item. Most food manufacturers place a warning label on their products if there is a chance that there was a cross contamination with a known allergen or if the product is made on shared equipment that also processes products that include known allergens.

We track over 600 trace ingredients across multiple languages. Please open a support ticket if you would like to request a comprehensive list of all the trace ingredients that we track.

See our list of the Most Common Trace Ingredients for more information.
