“…Znatno je učestalija u razvijenim u odnosu na zemlje u razvoju [6,7]. Generalno gledano, sreće se kod 2-8% dece i to uglavnom u dobi odojčeta i malog deteta [4][5][6][8][9][10]. Poremećaj je najčešće prolaznog karaktera i primarno pogađa nasledno predisponiranu decu, a posebno odojčad u prvom polugođu po rođenju i na veštačkoj ishrani ili dohrani [6,[11][12][13].…”

Kratak sadržajAlergija na hranu predstavlja čest i kontinuirano rastući problem. Iako je prisutna u svim životnim dobima, najčešće pogađa decu do tri godine, a posebno nasledno predisponiranu odojčad na veštačkoj ishrani. Sklonost neadekvatnoj imunskoj reakciji je neselektivnog karaktera, te je nutritivna alergija često multipla i u visokom stepenu udružena sa inhalacionom i/ili kontaktnom hipersenzitivnošću. Zbog antigenske bliskosti nekih vrsta hrane alergijska reakcija može biti i unakrsna, kao što je to slučaj sa kikirikijem, leguminozama i jezgrastim voćem ili kravljim, ovčjim i kozjim mlekom. Glavni nutritivni alergeni, odgovorni za preko 90% neželjenih reakcija ovog tipa, su proteini kravljeg mleka, jaja, kikirikija, jezgrastog voća, soje, pšeničnog brašna, ribe i morskih mekušaca, zglavkara i cefalopoda. Alergiju na hranu karakteriše veoma širok spektar kliničkih manifestacija. Moguće su i veoma teške sistemske reakcije, nekad i fatalne. Dijagnoza alergije na hranu se zasniva na detaljnoj ličnoj i porodičnoj anamnezi, kompletnom kliničkom pregledu i odgovarajućim laboratorijskim i drugim ispitivanjima prilagođenim tipu hipersenzitivnosti i karakteru tegoba ispitanika, a terapija na eliminacionoj dijeti. Značajan doprinos dijagnozi ima i pozitivan efekat eliminacione dijete. Mada je alergija na hranu kod dece u većini slučajeva prolazna, na neke od namirnica, kao što su kikiriki, jezgrasto voće, riba i morski mekušci, zglavkari i cefalopode, ona je najčešće doživotna.

“…Shellfish is the most common food allergen from Asia (Lee et al 2013;Shek et al 2010;Wu et al 2012) whilst egg and cow's milk allergies are most prevalent among young children and infants in Asia too (Chen et al 2011;Lee et al 2013;Wu et al 2012). Estimates for the total number of consumers affected by food allergies range from 1-2% adults and 5-8% children in westernized countries (Gupta et al 2011;Patel et al 2011;Tang and Hsiao 2016). The above studies are examples of common allergens occurring in specific countries as a result of geographic and dietary variations.…”

“May Contain” Allergen Statements: Facilitating or Frustrating Consumers?

As a result of mandatory labelling legislation, major food allergens that commonly cause allergic reactions are declared on packaging. The usage of precautionary allergen labelling (PAL) on packaging is not regulated in all countries, and the food industry uses various forms of "may contain" labelling which firstly is often inconsistent and secondly over time may diminish the value of such advisory statements. Hence, the aims of this paper are to review the current industry usage of PAL and to provide recommendations on future use that are of value to academics, policy makers, food industry, and consumers. A case study example is used to illustrate the likely costs and benefits of improving the current PAL status by considering a "peanut-free" product and calculation using the Voluntary Incidental Trace Allergen Labelling (VITAL) calculator. Governance such as addressing the inconsistent usage of PALs, promoting the harmonization of language used in PALs, and improving PAL status to quantified PAL statements would be helpful in communicating risks to consumers, so they can make informed choices when purchasing food products.

“…Currently, adherence to a strict allergen-free diet is the only reliable mode of treatment for aller gic consumers. Recent reports suggest the prevalence of food allergy is approximately 5% in adults and 8% in children [1,2]. Most food allergies are caused by specific classes fi of proteins in food that are otherwise harmless to a non-allergic person.…”
