Why are there so many people allergic to all nuts yet we don’t see many people allergic to all fruits?
In: 61
I work in a hospital catering section constantly checking this stuff. People suffer reactions for specific nuts, but get placed on ‘all nuts’ by us as a precaution, because the food manufacturers won’t specify which nut they shipped us.
They use this blanket ‘main contain traces of nuts’. In the processing factory, theres every opportunity for cross-contamination.
As for ‘all fruits’, I’ve marked off people with sensitives to fructose, the sugar in most fruits(not all though).
