An IgE-mediated (aggressive) immune system response to antigen(s) present on protein molecules in the particular food that (a given) person is allergic to. The antibodies (IgE) bind to those antigens and trigger a humoral immune response, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea, skin reactions, wheezing, and respiratory distress. In severe cases, the immune response can cause death. American’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires testing in advance to determine if a genetically engineered foodstuff has the potential to cause allergic reactions in humans, before that genetically engineered foodstuff (e.g., a modified crop plant) is approved by the FDA.<\/p>\n

\n

Abnormal responses of the immune system that produce physical symptoms caused by contact with a substance that is normally harmless. Allergies occur when an antibody responds to a specific antigen. The substance producing the response is called an allergen. These antigens or allergens typically do not produce a strong immune response in most people but can cause an immune response in those who are allergic to the antigen.<\/p>\n
