Therefore, food-processing conditions applied to fish allergen can potentially lead to increased allergenicity, even while the protein's digestibility is not affected by such processing.
We conclude that food-processing conditions applied to fish allergen can potentially lead to an increase in allergenicity, even while the protein's digestibility is not affected by such processing.
In fact, a vaccine for fish allergies, based on a recombinant hypoallergenic derivative of the major fish allergen (Cyp c 1), is being evaluated in a phase 2 immunotherapy trial in a European Union funded research program.
Examples of funded STSMs focussing on food production, quality and food safety include the following: the impact of diets on adipose tissue in goats; proteomics of the blue mussel Mytilus edulis affected by water pollutants; metaproteomics of cheese and dry-cured ham; and the identification of fish proteins acting as allergens in humans.
These major food allergens are milk, egg, fish, shellfish, nuts, wheat, peanuts and soybeans.
According to the CDC, 90percentt of serious allergic reactions are due to eight allergens: eggs, crustacean shellfish, fish, milk, peanuts, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

It mandates that the nutritional labels on food packages plainly identify any of eight specified food allergen sources— milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans— that are present in the product.
Fish gelatin (type I collagen) might be an allergen in subjects with fish allergy.
Each aroma is free of all known allergens, including peanuts, nuts, milk, fish and eggs.
