“…Due to cross-reactivity, data for individual nuts is more limited, though Wan and Chiu [ 13 ] reported that 2.2% of Taiwanese children (age 6 to 8) were allergic to pistachios. In the US, almonds are the third most common tree nut to cause allergy after walnuts and cashews [ 14 , 15 ].…”

Food allergy has been on the increase for many years. The prevalence of allergy to different foods varies widely depending on type of food, frequency of consumption and geographic location. Data from the literature suggests that the prevalence of tree nut allergy is of the order of 1% in the general population. Almond is one such tree nut that is frequently eaten in many parts of the world and represents a potential allergenic hazard. Given the need to label products that contain allergens, a number of different methods of direct and indirect detection have been developed. However, in the absence of population-based threshold data, and given that almond allergy is rare, the sensitivity of the required detection is unknown and thus aims as low as possible. Typically, this is less than 1 ppm, which matches the thresholds that have been shown for other allergens. This review highlights the lack of quantitative data on prevalence and thresholds for almonds, which is limiting progress in consumer protection.

“…The most prevalent food allergies were scallop, abalone, lobster, pork, casein, alphalactalbumin, and garlic. According to their results, food allergen hypersensitivity may be an important marker of inhaled allergen-induced respiratory allergy in later childhood (Wan & Chiu, 2012).…”

Backround and aim: To evaluate the sensitisation to molecular components in atopic dermatitis patients with the use of Multiplex ISAC testing. Method: The complete dermatological and allergological examination including the examination of the sensitisation to molecular components with Multiplex ISAC testing was performed. Results and conclusion: Eighty one patients were examined -40 men, 41 women, average age 41.7 years. The positivity was recorded most frequently to molecular components of timothy, birch, house dust mite, animals dander, bermuda grass, peach, apple, hazel pollen, kiwi, peanut and hazelnut, Alternaria and Aspergillus. Molecular components such as Equ c 1 (Horse), Alt a 6 (Alternaria), Fel d 1, Fel d 4 (Cat) and Can f 1, Can f 5 (Dog) are recorded with the significant higher occurrence simultaneously in patients suffering from severe form of AD, asthma bronchiale and allergic rhinitis; these molecular components play the most important role in the atopic march.

“…However, once sensitised, individuals may suffer allergic reactions following any type of exposure to papaya or papaya‐derived products (Morton, 1987). Sensitisation to papaya has been regularly found in people with oral allergy syndrome (OAS) and/or in latex‐allergic patients (Isola et al., 2003); however, reports of clinically relevant allergic reactions are scarce (Mandal et al., 2009; Sharda et al., 2010; Vlaicu et al., 2011; Wan and Chiu, 2012; Bedolla‐Barajas et al., 2014; Dey et al., 2014).…”

The food enzyme endo-polygalacturonase ((1-4)-a-D-galacturonan glycanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.15) is produced with the genetically modified Aspergillus niger strain EPG by DSM Food Specialties B.V. The genetic modifications do not give rise to safety concerns. The food enzyme is free from viable cells of the production organism and its DNA. It is intended to be used in fruit and vegetable processing for juice production. The dietary exposure to the food enzyme-total organic solids (TOS) was estimated to be up to 0.122 mg TOS/kg body weight (bw) per day in European populations. Genotoxicity tests did not indicate a safety concern. The systemic toxicity was assessed by means of a repeated dose 90-day oral toxicity study in rats. The Panel identified a no observed adverse effect level of 1,014 mg TOS/kg bw per day, the highest dose tested, which, when compared with the estimated dietary exposure, resulted in a margin of exposure at least 8,311. A search for the similarity of the amino acid sequence of the food enzyme to known allergens was made and 38 matches were found, two of which are food allergens. The Panel considered that, under the intended conditions of use, the risk of allergic reactions upon dietary exposure to this food enzyme cannot be excluded, in particular for individuals sensitised to papaya or maize, but that the risk will not exceed that of consumption of papaya or maize. In addition, oral allergy reactions cannot be excluded in pollen-sensitised individuals. Based on the data provided, the Panel concluded that this food enzyme does not give rise to safety concerns, under the intended conditions of use.
