An Integrated Approach to Management of Food Allergy – Recommendations for Consumers and Professionals
Journal Title: Public Health – Open Journal - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of the present paper is to review the existing knowledge on the current strategies in food allergy management and propose an integrated approach to management of food allergy and intolerance. Such approach should consist of Standard Operating Procedure (SOPs) addressed to health professionals, food industry and educators, and Dietary Behaviour Principles (DBPs) addressed to different groups of consumers, e.g. breastfeeding mothers, parents and carers of young children. The paper proposes a baseline for this formulation. However, more research is still needed on food allergies, particularly as regards food haptens (small molecular-weight components with sensitizing properties) as opposed to widely-known allergens.
