Food allergies are extremely common. Certain components or contaminants present in the food items consumed by us can give us allergies. Nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee addressed this issue a few days back on her Instagram profile and wrote, "Food allergy can be caused either by components in food such as gluten, lactose and some proteins or due to contaminants in the food.
