Summary
Food allergy is a common disease in childhood affecting up to 8% of children in Westernized
countries. About 30 percent of children with food allergies are allergic to more than one
food, most often milk, egg, wheat, peanut and tree nut. Peanut and hazelnut are common
triggers of severe and potentially fatal food-induced anaphylactic reactions. Currently,
there is no curative treatment for food allergy. Novel therapies for this potentially
life-threatening condition are therefore much needed.
