Poppy seeds

Poppy seeds (Papaver somniferum) may trigger IgE-mediated allergies, primarily via seed storage proteins (e.g., 2S albumins). Reactions range from oral allergy syndrome (OAS) to anaphylaxis. Cross-reactivity with other seeds (e.g., sesame, mustard) or birch pollen-related OAS is possible. Rare but documented in sensitive individuals.
