| Summary: | In the context of IgE-mediated food allergies in children, the use of hypoallergenic foods may offer an appropriate solution for enabling informed dietary choices and reducing reactivity to allergenic foods. It is well established that certain foods can alter their allergenicity depending on the method of processing. As such, processed foods may serve both as an alternative dietary option and as a useful tool in oral immunotherapy for children with IgE-mediated food allergies. Nevertheless, an oral food challenge is always recommended when a pediatric allergist considers incorporating processed foods into a child’s diet. This review aims to explore the potential use of processed forms of the nine major food allergens in IgE-mediated food allergies, supporting pediatric allergists in partially liberalizing children’s diets and facilitating the development of tolerance. |
