About food allergens
Food allergy may be defined as an inappropriate immune response to a food component, usually a protein, by a predisposed individual. Symptoms can vary in severity: digestive, cutaneous, respiratory, general (edema, anaphylactic shock).
Since the 1970s, the incidence of allergies and intolerances, including food, has increased in all developed countries. Changes in the environment, products consumed, lifestyles, etc… The growth of these disorders is now a public health issue, with increasing economic and social costs.
The European Union currently lists 14 allergenic foods, which need to be declared.
Many of these foods are commonly used in industrial preparations: soy, peanuts, fish, milk, sesame, eggs, crustaceans, etc. Moreover, allergies vary from one country to another, depending on consumption habits. In the face of these phenomena an extreme vigilance is required, particularly for industrialists.
