The number of people who have food allergies has increased in recent decades with around 5 - 7 % of infants and 1 - 2 % of adults at risk and The University of Manchester is part of a project «Integrated Approaches to Food
Allergen and Allergy
Management» (iFAAM; http://www.inflammation-repair.manchester.ac.uk/iFAAM/), which aims to provide better advice for health workers and the public and, ultimately reduce the burden of allergy
across Europe.
