One or more of the following symptoms
A food allergy occurs when the immune system reacts rapidly and severely to certain proteins found in foods. This reaction can be triggered not only by eating the food but also through touch or inhalation of airborne food proteins. During the first exposure to these allergens, the immune system activates IgE antibodies that attach to body tissues. These antibodies trigger the release of histamines, which cause allergy symptoms such as hives, swelling, difficulty breathing, and, in extreme cases, anaphylaxis—a potentially life-threatening condition.
In recent years, the global prevalence of food allergies has surged. According to a study conducted by FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education) in the U.S., the number of new food allergy cases rose by 377% between 2007 and 2016.
Globally, 6-8% of children under five are affected by food allergies, with approximately 2% of adults in the U.S. also impacted. In total, around 32 million Americans, including 5.6 million children, live with food allergies. In some cases, individuals may outgrow their allergies over time, but the condition often persists.
