Chickpea Allergen Detection: Allergen Risks and Precautions

Why is it Important to Look for Chickpea Allergen?

Food Allergens and Types

The human body can develop a reaction to the consumption of certain foods. These reactions are called allergies and are commonly known as various disorders caused by foods such as gluten, eggs and nuts. Commonly known allergens are as follows:

• Milk: Not to be confused with lactose intolerance. Milk allergy is an immune system reaction to milk proteins (usually casein and whey).
• Eggs: Proteins in egg whites (such as ovalbumin) often cause allergic reactions.
• Peanuts: Can cause very common and severe allergies. Carries a risk of anaphylaxis.
• Tree nuts: Nuts such as almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios can be allergenic.
• Fish: Fish proteins can cause severe allergies in some people.
• Shellfish: Shellfish such as shrimp, crab, lobster are common allergens.
• Wheat: Wheat allergy and gluten intolerance (celiac disease) are different, but both are common.
• Soy: Soy products can also be allergenic.
• Sesame: Sesame allergy, which has increased in recent years, should also be taken into account.

Chickpea Allergen

Chickpeas, the dried seeds of the legume family, are also allergenic for some people. Chickpea allergen is also an allergen that can be seen in consumers and should be prevented with prior information. Although it is not a widely known allergen, the risks are high. Considering that allergenic foods carry risks that can result in death for humans, we should definitely be aware of label reading and food companies should be audited for labeling.

Food labels must contain a warning against the risk of trace amounts of allergens. Likewise, it is also seen that some foods are presented to consumers with claims that they do not contain allergens. Chickpea Allergen Search studies are necessary to prevent misleading or deceiving consumers and to prevent health problems that may occur.

Precautions Against Allergen Risks

• Read labels carefully: Check the list of ingredients to see if allergens are present.
• Being careful during food preparation: Keep kitchen utensils and surfaces clean to avoid allergen contamination.
• Create an allergy emergency plan: Know what to do in case of a reaction and create an emergency plan.
