Which of the following is not considered one of the major food allergens of concern?

Milk
Eggs
Peanuts
Rice

The correct answer is: Rice

Rice is not considered one of the major food allergens of concern. The major food allergens that are widely recognized include milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, and wheat. These allergens are known to trigger severe allergic reactions in susceptible individuals, making them significant public health concerns. Rice, while it can cause allergy in some individuals, is not commonly classified among the primary allergens, which is why it is the correct choice in this context. This distinction helps ensure focus on the allergens that pose the greatest risk to public safety and requires labeling and caution in food preparation and handling.
