  • Title: Asthma and anaphylactoid reactions to food additives.
    Author: Tarlo SM, Sussman GL.
    Journal: Can Fam Physician; 1993 May; 39():1119-23. PubMed ID: 8499792.
    Abstract:
    Presumed allergic reactions to hidden food additives are both controversial and important. Clinical manifestations include asthma, urticaria, angioedema, and anaphylactic-anaphylactoid events. Most adverse reactions are caused by just a few additives, such as sulfites and monosodium glutamate. Diagnosis is suspected from the history and confirmed by specific challenge. The treatment is specific avoidance.
