Abstract Food allergies are increasing globally, including numbers of allergens, the sensitization rate, and the prevalence rate. To protect food-allergic individuals in the community, food allergies need to be appropriately managed. This paper describes current Australian food allergen management practices. In Australia, the prevalence of food allergies, the anaphylaxis rate, and the fatal anaphylaxis rate are among the highest in the world. Interagency and stakeholder collaboration is facilitated and enhanced as Australia moves through past, current, and ongoing food allergen challenges. As

Abstract:
In the context of IgE-mediated food allergies in children, the use of hypoallergenic foods may offer an appropriate solution for enabling informed dietary choices and reducing reactivity to allergenic foods. It is well established that certain foods can alter their allergenicity depending on the method of processing. As such, processed foods may serve both as an alternative dietary option and as a useful tool in oral immunotherapy for children with IgE-mediated food allergies. Nevertheless, an oral food challenge is always recommended when a pediatric allergist considers incorporating processe

Food allergies affect an estimated 10 to 12 million people in the United States. Some of these individuals can develop life-threatening allergic reactions when exposed to allergenic proteins. At present, the only successful method to manage food allergies is to avoid foods containing allergens. Consumers with food allergies rely on food labels to disclose the presence of allergenic ingredients. However, undeclared allergens can be inadvertently introduced into a food via cross-contact during manufacturing.

Abstract:
Food allergic reactions primarily occur after exposure to the offending food through ingestion, contact, or inhalation. However, it can occur covertly through hidden ways that are often missed, with undesirable consequences. Information has been accumulating over the years to indicate that food allergy (FA) may have been the problem in subjects who do not report an association to eating, touching, or smelling a food. Therefore, it would be prudent to explore the possibility of a hidden FA. The causative substance may be a food allergen or a nonfood allergen hidden in a previously tolerated foo

Abstract:
Non-specific Lipid Transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are relevant allergens of several pollens and plant foods. Sensitization to nsLTPs is not typical in our region. Still, it has become an increasingly common cause of IgE-mediated food allergies and food-induced anaphylaxis in Northern Europe in recent decades. No in-depth studies describe the prevalence of sensitization of molecular components to nsLTPs in Lithuania. This study aimed to determine the sensitization profile of atopic patients at the Immunology and Allergy Department of Kauno Klinikos to the components of nsLTPs, using molecular aller

Abstract:
Background: Adverse reactions to foods are divided in two main groups: food intolerance (non-immune process) and food allergies (immune-mediated process). The food allergy (FA) is a common and on rise condition in population. Although there is possibility of preventive or symptomatic relief through use of antihistamines and corticosteroids, it lacks full cure. Heretofore, it was believed that the only really effective treatment against this condition would be complete allergen restriction.

Abstract:
In recent decades, immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated food allergy has become a growing public health concern. Converging evidence from cross-sectional prevalence studies, health care utilization records, and cohort studies indicate that food allergies are increasingly prevalent and often severe. Although IgE-mediated food allergy has long been considered a predominantly pediatric concern, analysis of recent self-reported data suggests that food allergies may be more prevalent among adult populations than previously acknowledged, with many reported cases of adult-onset allergies as well as persis

The relevance of the food allergy problem is beyond doubt. In a number of countries of the world, its prevalence has increased by 2 times in recent years. Manifestations of food allergy, in contrast to food intolerance, are immunologically determined diseases. Immune-mediated diseases caused by food, based on the mechanism of development, are divided into IgE-mediated, non-IgE-mediated and mixed, differing from each other both clinically and immunopathogenetically. Essentially any allergic disease can be caused by food allergens. It should be noted that at present there are several theories of

Food allergies originate from adverse immune reactions to some food components. Ingestion of food allergens can cause effects of varying severity, from mild itching to severe anaphylaxis reactions.

Cutting-edge research on allergens is aimed at increasing information on their diffusion and understanding structure-allergenicity relationships. In this context, purified recombinant allergens are valuable tools for advances in the diagnostic and immunotherapeutic fields. Chitin

Peanut contains several class I food allergens (especially Ara h 1, 2, 3) that are stable against heat denaturation and proteolytic digestion and represent storage proteins. These allergens are often associated with severe allergic reactions. Additionally, peanut contains class II food allergens (Ara h 5 and 8), where the IgE reactivity is ca
