Food allergy occurs in around 10% of infants, 4-8% of children aged up to 5 years and 2-3% of adults. 90% of food reactions are caused by nine allergens: peanut, tree nuts, egg, cow’s milk products (dairy), sesame, shellfish, fish, soy and wheat. However any food has the potential to cause an allergic reaction. There is no cure for food allergy – therefore avoidance of the food is essential to prevent reactions.
