Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I wanted to know whether chocolate is dangerous to patients with egg allergies? I bought homemade chocolates from a hill station. Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern. Generally, pure chocolates would not contain eggs. It is better to ask the manufacturer whether they have added eggs while making it. Many times they add egg yolk, but pure chocolates should not trigger an allergy in a person who is sensitized to egg proteins.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
This query is for my friend, she is allergic to eggs. She will not eat any outside foods, but I have bought chocolates for her from a hill station. She is scared to eat it. What problems may it cause?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Chocolates with egg content can trigger allergies for your friend. It is better to avoid giving the chocolates to be safe as you do not know whether it has egg or not.
