As a nurse, the most common food allergy I see is to "shellfish" which also means they are allergic to iodine......that's important because the types of dyes used in ct scans are similar to iodine.
The 2nd most common food allergy I see is peanuts. I see this mainly in children, and it's mainly a life threatening food allergy.....so much so that most parents will carry an epinephrine syringe with them just in case their child accidentally ingests peanuts. There are a lot of things that contain peanuts that are not obvious.
The 3rd most common would probably be to wheat or glutens. A lot of people in this world are allergic to gluten in foods. They walk around with "allergy" symptoms of stuffy nose and take allergy medications without realizing that eliminating gluten from their diet would solve their problems easily........although I will say that a gluten-free diet is not easy.....is does take some adjustment.
I guess those are the main 3, but I do sometimes hear of other things like strawberries, eggs, etc

I am not sure of the correct answer to this but my nephew is allergic to many things. A few include corn, wheat, and food dyes. He was also allergic to milk when he was born, but has since out grown that. Doctors say that he won't out grown his current allergies.
