trigger allergic reactions. These triggers are referred to as &#8220;allergens&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Research shows that more than <strong>160 foods can trigger a severe allergic reaction<\/strong>; however, Health Canada has identified 9 foods responsible for more than 90% of reactions. These are called \u201cpriority allergens\u201d and include peanuts, wheat or triticale, milk, mustard, tree nuts, eggs, fish\/crustaceans\/shellfish, sesame, and soybeans.<\/p>\n<p>In Canada, the 9 priority allergens, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/allergies-alimentaires.org\/en\/other-allergens\">sulphites<\/a> and gluten sources, must be declared in accordance with the <a href=\"https:\/\/allergies-alimentaires.org\/en\/labelling\">Labelling Act<\/a>. Manufacturers must clearly declare the presence of common allergens, sulphites and gluten sources on the food label whether they are present as ingredients or as components of ingredients. The common names are: peanuts, wheat or triticale, milk, mustard, nuts, eggs, fish, shellfish, sesame, soybeans, as well as sulphites, and gluten. They appear either in the list of ingredients or in a &#8220;Contains&#8221; statement immediately after the list of ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/health-canada\/services\/food-nutrition\/food-labelling\/allergen-labelling\/use-food-allergen-precautionary-statements-prepackaged-foods.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canadian Law<\/a>, if an allergen is not listed, but the product may have come into contact with an allergen, it is recommended that the manufacturer indicate it on the label using the statement <strong>&#8220;May contain&#8221;<\/strong> and the possible allergen (peanut, wheat or triticale, milk, mustard, nuts, egg, fish\/crustaceans\/shellfish, sesame, soy, sulphites, gluten). Unlike the allergen Labelling Act, this precautionary labelling is at the manufacturer\u2019s discretion, and is not considered mandatory.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6ae18a53\" data-id=\"6ae18a53\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b042c80 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4b042c80\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/allergies-alimentaires.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/allergies-quebec_allergenes-prioritaires.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1615\" alt=\"allerg\u00e8nes prioritaires\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-57c50fa9 rightnav elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"57c50fa9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>SUGGESTED READING:<\/strong>\n<div id=\"u374\" class=\"ax_default box_1\" data-label=\"bouton-soumettre\">\n<div id=\"u374_text\" class=\"text \">\n<p id=\"cache20\"><a href=\"https:\/\/allergies-alimentaires.org\/en\/which-factors-influence-atopic-march\"><span id=\"cache21\">Which Factors Influence Atopic March?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"u375\" class=\"ax_default materialicons\">\n<div id=\"u375_div\" class=\"\">\n<div id=\"u377\" class=\"ax_default box_1 mouseOver\" data-label=\"bouton-soumettre\">\n<div id=\"u377_text\" class=\"text \">\n<p id=\"cache18\"><a href=\"https:\/\/allergies-alimentaires.org\/en\/labelling\"><span id=\"cache19\">Labelling of Food Products and Alcoholic Beverages<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"u378\" class=\"ax_default materialicons\">\n<div id=\"u378_div\" class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/allergies-alimentaires.org\/en\/food-sensitivities-and-intolerances-2\">Food Sensitivities and Intolerances<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Generally speaking, proteins in foods are considered to trigger allergic reactions.
