The U.S. has identified a list of 8 top allergens, and most countries use this core list of allergens, which account of more then 90% of food allergens.  The top 8 allergens in the U.S. are:

• Peanuts
• Tree Nuts
• Eggs
• Dairy (milk)
• Wheat
• Soy
• Fish
• Crustacean Shellfish

No, gluten is not an allergen. People with an inability to digest gluten have what is called Celiac Disease, which is a food intolerance and can be mild or extremely severe, depending on the person.
