Living with a food allergy

Food allergy symptoms can vary widely from person to person and can range from mild to severe. They typically occur shortly after consuming or coming into contact with the allergen and can affect different parts of the body. Find out more about symtoms of a food allergy, testing and diagnosis, common food allergies and living with a food allergy.

Top 14 allergens

In the UK, there are 14 food allergens that are recognised as the most common ingredients that can cause allergic reactions. These allergens represent the most common sources of severe allergic reactions in individuals, and food labels in the European Union (EU) must clearly indicate their presence to help consumers with allergies make informed choices and avoid allergens that could cause adverse reactions.
