Oregano is a perennial aromatic plant widely used as a spice in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly in Turkish, Greek, and Italian dishes. Food allergic reactions to oregano are extremely rare. Possible allergy symptoms include itching, swelling of the lips and tongue, and difficulty breathing. Contact allergic reactions may occur in sensitized individuals.

Oregano belongs to the Lamiaceae family, which also includes basil, marjoram, mint, sage, and lavender. The plant has antibiotic and antioxidant properties and is widely used in cooking and traditional medicine. Allergic reactions to oregano are very rare; however, cross-reactivity with other Lamiaceae family plants such as thyme, marjoram, and basil is possible.
