What is a food allergy?

A food allergy is an immediate response by the body’s immune system to a specific food. Common foods that can cause allergic reactions are peanuts, nuts, eggs, milk, fish, shellfish and sesame but in reality any food can cause an allergic reaction.

Rice is one of the least allergenic of all foods and Rice Dream is free from common allergens such as milk, soya and eggs.
