Detailed explanation-1: -Cross contamination is the name given when one food comes into contact with another food, resulting in their proteins (what your body reacts to in an allergic reaction) mixing.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cross-contamination can happen when a small amount of a food allergen gets into another food accidentally through the manufacturing or food preparation process. It can also occur through contact with utensils, surfaces or objects, as well as passed through saliva.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your immune system sends out immunoglobulin E or IgE antibodies. These react to the food or substance in the food. This can cause allergy symptoms such as hives, asthma, itching in the mouth, trouble breathing, stomach pains, vomiting, or diarrhea.

Detailed explanation-4: -Food allergies occur when your body mistakenly triggers an immune response to certain foods. This immune response, or allergic reaction, can cause a variety of symptoms such as hives, swelling or difficulty breathing. In severe cases, you may experience a life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis.
