Course overview
For allergy sufferers, food can be a terrifying thing. And even the most careful people can have an allergic reaction if the food they’re eating has accidentally become contaminated with an allergen. Reactions can range from mild to severe, or even fatal. Around 200,000 people a year need hospital treatment for reactions to food in the US alone.
