This CME activity reviews the pathophysiology and presentation of food allergies, and the immunological therapeutic options to help patients with food allergies.

• Explain the immunopathological aspects of food allergies and the associated mechanisms.
• Review the history of immunotherapy and understand emerging therapeutics for food allergies.
• Appreciate how specific molecules, namely proteins, from both the host and food source contribute to the development and triggering of food allergies and severe reactions, such as anaphylaxis.
