Crispbread is typically produced directly as a dry product, while rusks and melba toast are made by slicing and re-baking bread to remove moisture.
Yes. All food products offered for sale in the US, whether domestic or imported, must comply with FDA's Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) requirements. For crispbreads and rusks, which commonly contain wheat, rye, sesame, or tree nuts, importers must ensure that all major allergens are clearly declared on the label before the product enters US commerce.
