Allergy-Safe Family Food

This section provides information about alternative names for each of the foods coded in this book and lists the food products they may be included in.

It is not intended to replace medical advice from your doctor. Always follow the advice of your medical practitioner/allergy specialist.

“Some foods, food ingredients or components of an ingredient can cause severe allergic reactions in some people — this is known as anaphylaxis. Foods such as peanuts, tree nuts (eg cashews, almonds, walnuts), shellfish, tinned fish, milk, eggs, sesame and soybeans and their products, when present in food, may cause severe allergic reactions and must be declared on the label, however small the amount. Gluten is also included in this list but the caution is more for those with Coeliac Disease rather than allergy. Those who are wheat allergic must stay away from all wheat, including gluten. ”
