Yes. Peanut is one of the major food allergens under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act. Imported peanut oil intended for food use must comply with FDA labeling requirements, and highly refined peanut oil — which may be exempt from allergen labeling under certain conditions — must meet specific refining standards to qualify for that exemption. Importers should confirm compliance with FDA before entry.

Crude peanut oil (150810) retains its natural color, odor, and free fatty acids from the initial pressing or extraction. Refined peanut oil (150890) has undergone neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization, resulting in a lighter color and neutral flavor. The processing stage is typically documented in the supplier's certificate of analysis and is the key classification determinant.
