This means that it is possible for someone allergic to peanuts to consume a food that they are not normally sensitive to and still react to it. Because of this, the FDA requires manufacturers to provide evidence that no allergenic substance is in the GM food. If there is an allergenic substance, the food producer must state what it is on the label.

QuestionWhat does "100% natural flavors mean?Patricia Somers is a Registered Dietitian and an Associate Professor of the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy at the University of Texas at Austin. She received her RD from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in 1979 and her PhD in Educational Administration (Higher Education Specialization) from the University of New Orleans. She received an Emerging Scholar Award from the American Association of University Women and the Faculty Excellence Award in Research from the University of Arkansas, Little Rock.100% natural flavor means that the flavor must be entirely from the named fruit, spice, leaf or plant material. For example, if cinnamon toast advertises itself as having 100% natural flavor, it means that the flavor entirely comes from real cinnamon. Some flavors will be labeled "with other natural flavors", so these are not 100 % natural flavors.
