Raw chicken kebabs have been recalled by Creative Food Processing due to problems with misbranding and undeclared allergens.
In extreme cases, wheat allergies may trigger anaphylaxis, described by the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology as"potentially life-threatening reaction that can impair breathing and send the body into shock."
According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America , studies have shown that around one in 50 people in the U.S. has one or more severe allergies that can cause anaphylaxis but many professionals believe the true number is closer to one in 20. People are more likely to develop a wheat allergy if there is a family history of allergies and allergic diseases, including asthma or eczema, and if they are young. According to ACAAI, almost two thirds of children allergic to wheat will outgrow the allergy by the time they hit their teens.
Although there is some confusion between the two, a wheat allergy is different from a gluten allergy or celiac disease. The latter is an autoimmune disorder affecting approximately 1 percent of healthy Americans that can trigger diarrhea, bloating, fatigue, constipation, weight loss, iron-deficiency anemia as well as osteoporosis, infertility, neurological conditions, other autoimmune conditions and cancer, if left untreated.
The medical consensus is that gluten allergies don't exist but people may experience symptoms—including bloating and gastrointestinal problems—that are associated with gluten intolerance or gluten sensitivity if they eat wheat, barley, rye and other gluten-containing foods.
