Milk Allergy

Some people's the immune system overreacts to certain proteins in the milk, which results in an allergy to milk, dairy and other milk-derivatives.
Their allergic response tends to happen very rapidly - although the exact time can depend on what other foods were consumed at the same time and how long their digestion takes.
A milk allergy can cause anaphylaxis in about 1-2 % of cases.

The 14 Allergens

There are 14 major allergens that need to be clearly highlighted on the packaging of any food that contains it. If the allergen is sold in a different way, for instance as loose foods or cooked into a meal, information on what contains any of these 14 allergens must be easily available.
