FDA:
". . . food allergies
currently cannot be cured. Early recognition and learning how to manage food
allergies, including which foods to avoid, are important measures to prevent
serious health consequences.”

ACAAI:
“Symptoms of a food allergy
can range from mild to severe. Just because an initial reaction causes few
problems doesn’t mean that all reactions will be similar; a food that triggered
only mild symptoms on one occasion may cause more severe symptoms at another
time.”

6 tips for managing food
allergies
“There is no cure, so anyone
with a food allergy must vigilantly avoid the foods that trigger a reaction.”

CDC:
“There is no cure for food
allergies. Strict avoidance of the food allergen is the only way to prevent a
reaction.”

Mayo Clinic
"Even a tiny amount of the allergy-causing food
can trigger signs and symptoms . . ." [emphasis added]

Medicine
"Currently there are no
proactive treatments available for food allergy; consequently, the mainstay of
therapy is education and avoidance."

Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Connection Team (FAACT)
“There is no way to prevent
an allergic reaction other than avoiding the allergen. Strict avoidance is the
best way to prevent a reaction. This includes all products that definitely
contain the allergen as well as those that “may contain,” "manufactured in
a shared facility", or “processed on the same equipment.” Experimenting or
taking risks to determine if you can tolerate small exposures to the food
allergen is dangerous and will likely result in an allergic reaction.”

“There are currently no cures
for a food allergy. Management is based on avoiding the food and being prepared
to treat an allergic reaction should the food be eaten accidentally.”

"There is no cure for
food allergies. Therefore strict avoidance of the foods your child is allergic
to is the only way to prevent a reaction."
