GENERAL INFORMATION:Pecan (Carya illinoinensis) belongs to the Juglandiaceae. It contains around 9% of proteins and some of these are known to be allergenic, such as 2S albumin Car I 1 or the 11S legumin Car I 4, among others. Many of these proteins are thermally-stable during various production processes. Consumption of pecan might be harmful for people who are allergic to it. The allergen can be present as an ingredient or as a contamination in raw and cooked products. Consumption of pecan-containing food from allergic people might cause a broad range of symptoms, such as hives, mild oral allergy or/and anaphylactic shock. Because of this, consumption of pecan or pecan containing food should strictly be avoided from allergic persons. According to the regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011 Annex II, pecan is included in the list of allergens established by the European Food Safety Authority, and its presence must be indicated on the label. Similar regulations exist e.g. in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
