Food Allergens

Food allergens are typically naturally-occurring proteins in foods or derivatives of them that cause abnormal immune responses. Among the most common causes of allergies are some of the following food groups:

Seeds and nuts - the most common is peanut allergy. This allergy can cause serious consequences, especially in children, but often disappears with age. The following tree nuts have high allergenic potential: walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, some exotic nuts, and seeds - sesame and poppy seed;

Eggs - affect on average 2% of children, but symptoms of allergy often do not appear after five years of age;

Milk and dairy products - a very common cause of food allergies, especially in children. About 10% of allergic children are sensitive to beef. It contains the same protein that is found in milk.

Other common food allergies include susceptibility to soybeans, wheat, fish, seafood, fruits, spices, synthetic and natural colors and chemical additives.
