This exceptional volume is essential reading for all dietitians, nutritionists, paediatricians, allergists, family practitioners, GP's, practice nurses, health visitors and other health care professionals who work in this area or have an interest in food allergy.

The book is also an excellent reference for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying allergy, immunology or nutrition and dietetics.

It is also useful as a resource for those in the food industry where increasing amounts of attention to allergen free foods is being made.
