The Big 9 major food allergens recognized in the United States include milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and which newest addition?

Explanation

Sesame became the ninth major food allergen in the United States under the FASTER Act, effective January 1, 2023, joining milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans. The FASTER Act added sesame alone, so the option pairing mustard with it is false. FALCPA established the original eight allergens and was never expanded to include corn, and the FDA has never added garlic. Note the scope of the stem: it asks about the list recognized in the United States, so an allergen that must be declared only elsewhere (mustard is declarable in Canada and the EU) is still not part of the U.S. Big 9.
