If you look at a food package and don't see Contains how do you know if it's truly absent or if perhaps it's on a different part of the label and you missed it?

On the practical personal safety level this is easy to answer. If you(or the person you are going to serve it to) have food alergy for any of the categories and you can’t find a “Contains” list then you don’t consume(serve) the item.

Do food products with none of the major allergens need "Contains Nothing" on their packaging?

I thought they do! But it seems i’m mistaken. At least a casual browse of the relevant law does not seem to mandate it.
