Labeling potluck dishes with all the ingredients is standard at my potlucks my girlfriend's synagogue does, which is nice because they don't know ahead of time exactly who will be there: "potluck after services" means that someone who hasn't been to services in months might be there, or a member might bring an out-of-town visitor.
I don't know how people who find labeling, but not cooking/food prep, to be a lot of work are dealing with this; I do know that not everyone contributes to every potluck they attend, and sometimes people decide at the last minute to stay for lunch. But I've been to not-quite-potluck parties (to which food contributions were welcome but not expected0, and the contributions usually included some prepared food (things like cookies) in the original packaging, so people who cared could read the ingredients.
