Website about food allergies

Can you eat mussels if you are allergic to prawns? Can you give a child goat’s milk to drink if it is allergic to cow’s milk? Which foods often contain egg? And how are food allergies diagnosed?

You can find the answers to these questions and many more at www.foedevareallergi.dk and also learn more about the website on the Board's page food allergies.

The Danish National Board of Health, the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration and the Danish Asthma & Allergy Association have set up the website together to pool information about food allergies in one place. 

Pollen allergy

Some people who suffer from pollen allergy also experience allergic symptoms, so-called cross-reactions or cross-allergies, when they eat certain foods, typically nuts, fruit or vegetables.
