Exposure through chocolate, candies and pastries. All cacao and chocolate products are derived from the seed of the Theobroma cacao fruit. The fermented, dried and roasted seeds are ground to make chocolate powder. The powder is used for drinks and confections, and also to make medicines more palatable. Cacao butter is used in making confections. Substitutes for the butter used in chocolate-flavored products are often derived from palm kernel oil, soy, corn and cotton-seed.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that cacao may induce symptoms of food allergy in sensitised individuals. Specific IgE antibodies have been found in patients with symptoms such as bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis after different food intake, of which chocolate was one such food.
