Annatto seed hypersensitivity in a pediatric patient

Food allergy is of increasing concern and prevalence, particularly in children younger than 5 years who reside in urbanized areas of developed countries.1 In response to this trend, The Food Allergy Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-282, Title II) was passed, requiring that the 10 most common food allergens be listed on nutrition labels. This legislation, although progressive, does not capture other allergens such as food additives that can cause near-fatal reactions.1
