What risk can occur if alternative foods are not chosen in food allergy?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Nutrient deficiency
Removing an allergenic food is necessary for safety, but simply excluding it without planning a replacement may reduce intake of protein, energy, calcium, iron, vitamins, or other nutrients. A safe alternative should provide comparable nutritional value while avoiding the allergen. Ingredient labels, cross-contact prevention, and professional dietetic guidance are important, especially when several foods are restricted or the patient is a child.
