Unexpected Cow's Milk Proteins in a "Vegan" Easter Egg as a Cause of Anaphylaxis.
Background: Cow's milk is the most frequent cause of food allergies in children, with caseins and β-lactoglobulin being considered the main allergens. Concerningly, numerous international agencies have highlighted a growing risk of allergic reactions in milk-allergic individuals after the consumption of products labelled as "vegan".
Objectives: We describe the case of a 3.5-year-old boy with a history of a food allergy to milk who complained of anaphylactic clinical symptoms after eating a vegan Easter egg. The aim of this study was to confirm the cause of the clinical symptoms, searching for the possible presence of milk proteins in the vegan chocolate.
Methods: An experimental approach based on electrophoretic (SDS-PAGE) and immunoenzymatic techniques (ELISA) was applied.
Results: SDS-PAGE indicated the presence of milk proteins, which was confirmed and quantified via ELISA (3034 ± 115 mg/kg).
Conclusions: The data obtained demonstrate that the severe clinical symptoms were due to the unexpected presence of milk proteins in a vegan product, underlining the critical need for rigorous allergen quality control throughout the food industry.
期刊介绍:
Foods (ISSN 2304-8158) is an international, peer-reviewed scientific open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies related to all aspects of food research. It publishes reviews, regular research papers and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists, researchers, and other food professionals to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible or share their knowledge with as much readers unlimitedly as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, unique features of this journal:
manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed
electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material
we also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds
