Food allergy Immunological aspects and approaches to safety assessment
bookPart
Food allergy, by definition, describes the adverse health effects that result from the elicitation of allergic reactions to dietary proteins. This does not necessarily imply, however, that allergic sensitization is invariably acquired via dietary exposure to proteins. As will be discussed later in this chapter, sensitization to food proteins may develop following encounter via other routes of exposure. © 2007 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
