Frequently Asked Questions

An allergen is a substance that can trigger an allergic reaction. Common food allergens include milk, eggs, peanuts, nuts, gluten and shellfish. UK allergen labelling helps identify potential risks.

Symptoms may include itching, hives, swelling, coughing, wheezing, vomiting or breathing difficulties. Severe reactions can develop into anaphylaxis and require urgent treatment.

Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. Signs can include difficulty breathing, throat or tongue swelling, dizziness and collapse. Emergency treatment is required.

Use an adrenaline auto-injector (AAI) immediately if available and indicated, call 999, and follow UK emergency guidance. A second AAI may be needed if symptoms do not improve.

UK allergen training covers common allergens, allergen management, food labelling, preventing cross-contact, recognising allergic reactions and responding to anaphylaxis in the workplace.
