Abstract
Food allergy is a widespread hypersensitivity reaction in people of different age groups, starting from early childhood to old age. The severity of clinical manifestations may vary, but the most severe life-threatening event is food anaphylaxis. Late recognition by patients and doctors of food hypersensitivity and inadequate treatment of food anaphylaxis necessitate the development of unified approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. In order to improve the prognosis of food anaphylaxis, it is necessary to inform the public about the likelihood of a fatal outcome, use public preventive measures regarding the accurate labeling of all potentially dangerous allergenic components of products for their timely recognition and prevention of use by hypersensitive individuals.
