Allergenic Sensitisation Mediated by Wolfberry

Food allergy has increased dramatically in the last 20 years mainly in children and is sometimes mediated by cross-reactivity with other allergens, including pollens or other foods, sometimes by primary sensitisation after the ingestion of the offending foods. On the other hand, globalisation, sophisticated preservation technology or rapid transport methods, as well as the interest for new tastes, food varieties and eating habits in the population are the main causes for the introduction of new foods which immediately become potential allergenic sources.
