If a client is allergic to pineapple, where should you check for its presence in products?

To determine whether a product contains pineapple or any other allergen, the most reliable source is the Ingredient list on packaging. This list provides specific details about all ingredients that have been included in the formulation of the product, allowing for a clear assessment of potential allergens.

While the Product label might provide some information about the product, and the Consultation form may outline a client's allergies, the true specifics of the ingredients are found in the ingredient list. The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is primarily designed for workplace safety and chemical handling and may not provide a comprehensive breakdown of cosmetic ingredients as detailed as the ingredient list on the product itself. Therefore, when assessing for allergies in cosmetics or skincare products, the ingredient list is the most important source to verify the presence of known allergens like pineapple.
