They call'em the BIG eight... ;-)

The most common food allergies are:
*****************************************
Milk allergy
Egg allergy
Peanut allergy
Tree nut allergy
Fish allergy
Shellfish allergy
Soy allergy
Wheat allergy

They account for over 90% of the food allergies in the United States of America! Sesame is currently the 9th most common food allergen in America.

Yet virtually any food can be a food allergen. According to the website of pediatric authors Dr. Sears, berries, buckwheat, chocolate, cinnamon, citrus fruits, coconut, corn, mustard, peas, pork, seeds, sesame, sugar, tomatoes and yeast are also common allergens.

Here are the Big Eight
The most common food allergies are [1]:

Milk allergy
Egg allergy
Peanut allergy
Tree nut allergy
Fish allergy
Shellfish allergy
Soy allergy
Wheat allergy
These are often referred to as "the big eight." [citation needed] They account for over 90% of the food allergies in the United States of America [4] [5]. Sesame is currently the 9th most common food allergen in America according to the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network. [citation needed] Yet virtually any food can be a food allergen. According to the website of pediatric authors Dr. Sears, berries, buckwheat, chocolate, cinnamon, citrus fruits, coconut, corn, mustard, peas, pork, seeds, sesame, sugar, tomatoes and yeast are also common allergens. The Joneja Food Allergen Scale shows the relative allergenicity of various foods.[6]

Likelihood of allergy can increase with exposure. [citation needed] For example, rice allergy is more common in Asian nations where rice forms a large part of the diet. [citation needed] The top allergens vary somewhat from country to country but milk, eggs, peanuts, treenuts, fish, shellfish, soy, wheat and sesame tend to be in the top 10 in many countries
