What to look for on labels
- On prepacked food in the EU and UK, celery must be emphasised in the ingredient list (usually in bold), so look for celeriac in bold or with its source named, for example “celeriac (celery)”.
- This allergen group is on the EU and UK list but not on the US major allergen list, so US labels may not highlight it.
