How do I write a Contains statement for New York's allergen law?

New York's guidance accepts two ways, and you need only one. Either name the allergen source in parentheses in the ingredient list, like whey (milk) or semolina (wheat), or add one Contains line right after the ingredient list that names every major allergen in the item.

The Contains line must be complete: the state says leaving an allergen off it is a violation even if the ingredient list shows it. Name the specific tree nut (cashews), fish (cod) and shellfish (shrimp), and the animal when milk or eggs are not from cows or chickens (goat milk). The state's own example, a pasta salad with semolina, feta and tahini, reads Contains: WHEAT, MILK, SESAME.

Declare writes the line for you from the ingredients you type, and you tick each allergen to confirm it.
