Note: Many country-style wreaths are decorated with wheat products.<\/li>\n<li><b>Soy:<\/b> Watch out for baked goods, canned tuna, cereals, crackers, infant formulas, sauces and soups. Note: Ask your doctor whether to avoid soy oil.<\/li>\n<li><b>Fish, Shellfish:<\/b> Watch out for Caesar salad dressings, steak sauce and Worcestershire sauce, which often contain anchovies; surimi, an imitation crab meat; caponata, a traditional sweet-and-sour Sicilian relish that contains anchovies. Note: A fish allergy does not mean you&#39;re allergic to iodine.<\/li>\n<li><b>Tree Nuts:<\/b> Barbecue sauce; cereals; crackers; ice cream; manufactured nuts such as mandelonas; mortadellas, a kind of sausage that may contain pistachios. Note: Items such as Hacky Sacks and beanbags are sometimes filled with crushed nutshells.<\/li>\n<li><b>Peanuts:<\/b> Watch out for Mandelonas (peanuts soaked in almond flavoring); arachis oil (same as peanut oil); African, Chinese, Indonesian, Mexican, Thai and Vietnamese cuisine; and sunflower seeds (some are produced on equipment shared with peanuts). Note: Nut butters are not always a good substitute for peanut butter.<\/li>\n<li><b>Eggs:<\/b> Watch out for whipped toppings on coffee and specialty drinks; egg substitutes (some contain egg whites); and commercially processed pastas. Note: Flu vaccines may contain a small amount of egg protein. Check with your doctor first.<\/li>\n<li><b>Milk:<\/b> Watch out for casein, a milk protein derivative found in many &#8216;nondairy&#8217; products, and butter used to flavor foods. Note: Goat&#39;s milk is not a substitute for cow&#39;s milk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><p>Remember: The only way to avoid an allergic reaction is to avoid the allergenic food.
