What kind of foods can cause allergic reactions?
The most common foods behind allergic reactions include nuts, peanuts, milk, egg, wheat, and soy bean proteins. Some food preservatives, such as metabisulfate and monosodium glutamate (MSG), can also cause allergic reactions. Metabisulfate is in most wines that need preserving, and although MSG is normally associated with Chinese food, it is present in a high percentage of processed foods and often listed on the label by another name such as glutamic acid, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, or yeast extract.
