Whether you operate under Florida, Texas, California (Class A/B CFO), or New York cottage food laws—or you are scaling from farmers markets into retail grocery—every food label requires a descending-weight Ingredient List, a FALCPA/FASTER Act 9-Allergen 'Contains' statement, dual Net Weight (oz + grams), and business name/address.

Yes. Under the FASTER Act of 2021 (effective January 1, 2023), Sesame is the 9th major food allergen and must be declared in the ingredient list or 'Contains:' statement.
Yes. Under FALCPA (21 U.S.C. 343(w)), general terms like 'Tree Nuts' or 'Fish' alone are not sufficient; you must declare the specific nut (e.g., Almond, Cashew, Pecan) or fish species (e.g., Tuna, Cod).
