When food containing an allergen comes in contact with another food item and their proteins mix, it is called cross-contact. Cross-contact occurs when an allergen is accidentally transferred from one food to another, usually through shared equipment, utensils, or surfaces. As a result, each food then contains small amounts of the other food. These amounts are so small that they usually can’t be seen.
