Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A food allergy happens when the body’s immune system, which normally fights infections, sees the food as an invader. This leads to an allergic reaction-an immune system response in which chemicals like histamine are released in the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Food allergy is a pathological reaction of the immune system triggered by the ingestion of a food protein antigen.
