We’ve recently become aware of concerns surrounding allergen information on TikTok Shop, with many products lacking clear and accurate labelling. This is causing growing concern within the allergic community, as unclear labelling increases the risk of accidental exposure to allergens, which can be dangerous, especially for those with severe allergies.
For parents, this situation highlights the importance of staying informed about the products your children may be purchasing online. It’s easy to overlook allergen information when shopping, but it’s crucial to ensure the items being bought are safe for those with allergies. Engaging in regular, open conversations about food safety and allergies with your children can help empower them to make safer choices and understand the potential risks. Keeping an eye on online purchases and encouraging kids to ask questions about what they’re buying can also make a big difference in avoiding allergic reactions.
🔎 Check ingredients carefully don’t rely on influencer reviews.
📢 Ask sellers for allergen info before buying.
⚠️ Be wary of ‘trending’ products with unclear sourcing.
