## Enunciado

Recent research suggests that about one in
seven life-threatening allergic reactions are caused by
foods not currently listed on mandatory allergen labels.

Food allergies are rising, yet regulations, such as
the European Union’s 14-item allergen list from 2011,
have not been updated in years.

To identify overlooked triggers, Dominique
Sabouraud-Leclerc and colleagues analyzed 2999 cases
of food-induced anaphylaxis reported between 2002 and
2023 to the Allergy-Vigilance Network. They found that
goat or sheep milk, buckwheat, peas, lentils, pine nuts,
kiwi, apples, beehive products and alpha-gal (a sugar that
can trigger an allergy to red meat and other mammalian
products) were responsible for about 14% of reactions.
Goat and sheep cheese caused particularly severe
outcomes, including two deaths, and hidden exposures in
processed foods increased risks.

Based on these findings, the researchers
recommend adding goat and sheep milk products, peas,
lentils, buckwheat and pine nuts to Europe’s mandatory
allergen labelling. They argue that clearer information is
crucial for protecting allergic individuals and could
inspire broader international policy updates.

Which of the following best captures the implicit
argument the researchers are making regarding allergen
regulation?

## Alternativas

- **A)** Updating allergen labels is necessary not only for
 Europe but could serve as a model for global food
 policy improvements. ✔ **correta**
- **B)** Food allergies are impossible to regulate effectively
 because new allergens are constantly emerging.
- **C)** Goat and sheep milk products should be the sole
 focus of allergen policies, due to their association
 with severe outcomes.
- **D)** The Allergy-Vigilance Network’s findings undermine
 the validity of the EU’s 14-item allergen list,
 suggesting it should be abolished.

## Resposta correta

Alternativa **A**.
