My December 4, 2017, Email to Scott H. Sicherer, MD, FAAAAI

Re:  “Possible Allergic Reaction to Corn Chips,” AAAAI, “Ask the Expert,” 4/15/2013
The key word here is “corn,” and most likely indicates the patient is allergic to corn.

Re:  Beef Jerky (also referenced in this article)
Although the brand of beef jerky was not disclosed in this article, basic beef jerky contains a great deal of corn-derived ingredients.  My advice to this inquiry would have been to have the patient tested for an allergy to corn.
