My son has severe food allergies too...a recent trip to the store and a favorite candy treat nearly killed him...turns out Laffy Taffys recently added egg to their formula and we were unaware....he had eaten this treat for years and we made the naive mistake to assume nothing had changed...within minutes his throat started closing...he was wheezing...breakung out in hives....and I was flying to the ER....BE CAREFUL PARENTS AND READ EVERY LABEL EVERYTIME!!!

"There is currently no cure for food allergies; nor are there medicines to prevent reactions. Yet there are steps you should take to manage your condition. The most important of these is avoiding coming in contact with food proteins that can cause an allergic reaction." http://www.aaaai.org/conditions-and-treatments/allergies/food-allergies.aspx
