Soy is part of the "big eight" allergens responsible for 90% of food allergies. It is important to consider hidden soy allergens in processed foods. Allergy symptoms range from mild to severe, including anaphylaxis. In children, allergy most often occurs through gastrointestinal or skin sensitization routes, while in adults it is often due to cross-reactivity with birch pollen. Occupational asthma from inhaling soy flour is also seen in bakers.
