The four common foods researchers want added to allergen list
Peanuts are the most commonly known foods for triggering a serious allergic reaction, but scientists stimulate a new wave of troubled food.
Food packaging in the UK and the EU lists the 14 most common allergen for people to be aware of – they include peanuts, shelled seafood, soybeans, milk and eggs.
However, at least four more should be added to the compulsory risk list according to a study conducted by his colleagues Dominique Sabouraud-Leclerc, the chief researcher of the allergy awake network, and his colleagues at the University Hospitaire de Reims in France.
Findings published in the magazine Clinical and experimental allergy Goat and sheep milk, buckwheat, pea lentils and pine nuts should be added to the risk list.
Anxious others had kiwi fruit, apple and honey, edible pollen and royal jelly bee products.
Between 2002-2023, there was an anaphylaxis of 3,000 foods that were reported to the network of allergies in Europe.
“Considering their frequency, violence, recurrence and the potential for hidden exposure, we recommend that they should be considered to be included in four-raid and sheep milk, buckwheat, peas-mercimek and pine nuts.”
Researchers have announced that the rise of anaphylaxis in these new foods can be caused by a change in eating habits in the last decade and that more people have chosen a plant -based diet, including various hazelnuts, seeds and fruits – exposure consumers to new allergy risks.
For example, peas is currently not one of the 14 allergens that should be listed by law, but the pea protein is increasingly added to a wide variety of foods.
Simone Miles, General Manager of Aergy UK, shows that the research “even less -known allergens can cause serious reactions and life -threatening anaphylaxis”.
Allergy UK calls 21 million people in the UK to be cautious with allergies and always to control the label.
Miles, many people are struggling with “uncertain” food labeling and “ambiguous ,, which may contain ‘warnings ın that make it difficult to know if it is safe for food.
A food allergy occurs when the body’s immune system excessively reacts to a food and makes mistakes for something harmful. It leads to the production of histamine – this chemical then causes symptoms such as anaphylaxis and breathing difficulties in itchy skin, swollen lips and severe cases.
