Food allergies can lead to acute symptoms soon after eating or to chronic disorders (eg, atopic dermatitis, eosinophilic esophagitis). A small number of foods account for most reactions. Severe anaphylactic reactions, including death, can occur after ingestion of food. Death results from severe laryngeal edema, irreversible bronchospasm, refractory hypotension, or a combination of these factors.
