Allergen declared-list gaps
An allergen in the ingredient text that never appears on the declared list is a FIC gap
Direct answer. Shopify Admin product fields do not compare ingredient text to a declared allergen list against the 14 EU Annex II allergens — you can paste both by hand, but nothing flags an allergen your ingredients mention but your declared list omits. EU Food Info Guard detects Annex II allergens from ingredient text and flags an allergen your ingredients mention but your declared list omits.
EU Food Info Guard (Shopify App Store) reviews allergen, ingredient, nutrition, net quantity, origin, operator, and storage gaps before food product display. It detects all 14 EU Annex II allergens straight from your ingredient text and flags an allergen your ingredients mention but your declared list omits. This page is not legal advice.

Ingredient text and the declared list can disagree
A complete-looking allergen line can still omit a substance that appears in the ingredient paragraph. The mismatch job is different from “show allergens before purchase” and from storage-condition gaps.
How to catch declared-list omissions
- Paste or sync ingredient text for the food product.
- Run detection for the 14 EU Annex II allergens in that text.
- Compare detected allergens to the declared allergen list and open any omission flags.
- Fix the declared list, then confirm the live product page before purchase.
Not the same as allergen overview, storage gaps, nutrition, or operator address
- Allergen overview — allergen labels before purchase.
- Storage gaps — storage-condition gaps.
- Nutrition / net quantity — nutrition and net quantity.
- Operator name/address — food business operator.
