    Abstract:
    Pediatric food allergy remains commonplace, despite the advancement in our understanding of risk factors and prevention modalities for the condition. Early allergen introduction, a dietary intervention, has been endorsed by professional societies globally as an effective primary preventive measure, yet awareness among medical professionals and parents is lacking. Alongside food allergen introduction, overall nutrition, such as diet diversity, also plays an important role in allergy prevention. To address both food allergen introduction and overall nutrition, dietitians play a pivotal role in the dissemination and education of current guidelines to caregivers. This review addresses the particular role of the dietitian in food allergy prevention consultations, providing up-to-date information on food allergies, their development and prevalence, risk factors, dietary factors and an overview of the current guidelines in the United States. This has not been addressed in any of the current food allergy or nutrition guidelines.
