    Arsenic isn’t an allergen, imagine peanut with peanut allergies

    Gluten is similarly allergenic

      Are there really that many people with severe gluten allergies? Most people who won’t eat gluten (and have legitimate reasons) just can’t digest it well, which is quite different from an allergy.

        Yes, unfortunately is the case for every substance listed as an “allergen” on food
