THE Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has announced that labels on medicines will need to identify any possible allergens in addition to the presently mandatory peanuts and gluten references.
The additional substances include crustacea, fish, eggs, soya, milk and tree nuts, although they may not appear for a few years with drug companies being given a grace period of four years to implement the requirements.
