Food allergies can cause serious and even life threatening reaction to kids. And with health experts saying that allergies -- from asthma to foods -- are on the rise worldwide, we (parents) should be even more vigilant over our children's diet.

So when shopping for food, labels should be checked in detail. A task that is easier now than before since the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 went into effect, requiring manufacturers to disclose hidden allergens. However, despite this, it still pays to be more observant.

Do not really know if your child has a cold or an allergy? Health24.com has listed the signs which would help you identify what your child is suffering from.

I also recommend you to read When Food Becomes the Enemy for an overview of allergic reactions to food.
