The U.S. is really far behind on this front. Going to even casual restaurants in Germany, I see a menu that has a dozen or so symbols, representing everything from gluten to alliums to lupins. In the US you're lucky to get "May contain nuts"

Surely it would be easy to change labeling to make that clear? All they would have to do is say "contains milk proteins" or something in the allergen information in the nutrition facts

I had similar 1st thoughts on the allergy front.

I can concur that plan based cheese sucks. Id rather eat the real stuff and suffer the consequences than eat the plant/coconut based stuff lol
