Do you have an allergy to egg?
Then you may be reacting to the white, which is more
common than reacting to the yolk. But no
matter how you crack it, you can be allergic to
either.
Beware of binders, coagulants, emulsifiers,
flavorings, seasonings, white wine (can be washed
with egg whites), root beer (can be washed with egg
whites), processed meat, salad dressings
(particularly Caesar), sauces, vaccinations,
flavored coffees, cosmetics and hygiene products.
If you are allergic to eggs, check processed foods
for coagulants, binders, emulsifiers, seasonings and
flavorings, as all of these may contain egg. White
wine and root beer can be washed with egg whites.
Sauces, salad dressings and processed meat may
contain egg as well.
Are you a coffee drinker? If so, try to stick with
regular coffees. Some flavored coffees are also
washed with egg.
Hygiene products and cosmetics may contain egg. And
finally, some vaccinations contain egg products. If
you need a vaccination, tell your health care
provider you have an egg allergy and ask them to
check the vaccination for egg.
If you are ever in doubt, call the manufacturer
rather than take the risk of becoming exposed to
egg. |
