In the absence of legislation, I would suggest that best practice would be to default to the CODEX GENERAL STANDARD FOR THE LABELLING OF PREPACKAGED FOODS
http://www.fao.org/d...0E/y2770e02.htm
2.1.4 The following foods and ingredients are known to cause hypersensitivity and shall always be declared:
Cereals containing gluten; i.e., wheat, rye, barley, oats, spelt or their hybridized strains and products of these;
Crustacea and products of these;
Eggs and egg products;
Fish and fish products;
Peanuts, soybeans and products of these;
Milk and milk products (lactose included);
Tree nuts and nut products; and
Sulphite in concentrations of 10 mg/kg or more.
Fiji http://www.health.go...ations-2009.pdf
Default to CODEX
India infant milk substitute

Default to CODEX
Myanmar https://www.export.g...ng-requirements
In addition, Myanmar follows Codex guidelines and the ASEAN Common Principles and Requirements for the Labeling of Prepackaged Foods. All foods must be labeled and imported products must have the labels which must be affixed with the name and address of the local importer and/or distributor and the country of origin.

Same as CODEX
Philippines http://www.puntofoca...os/phl128_t.pdf
Same as CODEX
Sri Lanka http://www.health.go...tising)2015.pdf
No mention of allergens
Vietnam http://www.moj.gov.v...spx?itemid=5045
Article 19.- Technical specifications, hygiene and safety information and warnings
3. For ingredients or substances in compound ingredients of goods of special categories which contain preservatives with prescribed dosage and included on the list of those which may be allergic or harmful to humans, animals and the environment, the names of preservatives accompanying these ingredients must be shown.
