Frequently Asked Questions

Why is celery such a common allergen in Europe?
Root celery, stalk celery, and celery seeds found in spice blends and vegetable broths contain allergens that resist cooking and frequently cross-react with mugwort and birch pollen.
What is a hen's egg white and yolk allergy?
An egg allergy stems from hypersensitivity to proteins such as ovomucoid or ovalbumin. In our egg-free Diets Premium meal plans, we use trusted culinary substitutes to ensure the perfect texture in baked goods and dishes.
What is a fish allergy?
The primary allergen in fish (such as cod, salmon, tuna, or herring) is parvalbumin, a heat-stable protein. In our fish-free Diets Premium meal plans, we carefully ensure alternative sources of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D.
What characterizes a shellfish allergy?
Shellfish allergies (shrimp, crabs, lobsters, crayfish) are primarily triggered by the protein tropomyosin and can cause rapid, severe symptoms even upon minor contact with the dish.
Where is lupin found in food products?
Lupin flour and protein are widely used in gluten-free breads, pastas, and confectionery, while also exhibiting significant cross-reactivity with peanuts.
What symptoms are triggered by sulfites and sulfur dioxide hypersensitivity?
Sulfites (E220–E228), found in non-organic dried fruits, wine, and potato products among others, can trigger bronchospasm and skin symptoms, especially in individuals with asthma.
How does a wheat allergy differ from celiac disease?
A wheat allergy is an allergic reaction (often IgE-mediated) specifically targeting proteins found in wheat grain, whereas other grains may sometimes be tolerated after consulting an allergist.
Why is a hazelnut allergy linked to birch pollen?
The Cor a 1 protein in hazelnuts is structurally similar to the major birch pollen allergen, which frequently causes itching in the mouth and throat after consuming raw hazelnuts.
Why do pistachios and cashews cross-react?
Pistachios and cashews belong to the same botanical family (Anacardiaceae), causing an allergic person's immune system to very frequently react to both products simultaneously.
Are macadamia nuts safe for allergy sufferers?
Macadamia nuts and macadamia oil also belong to the tree nut family and should be avoided by individuals with confirmed hypersensitivity.
