Abstract

Food allergies have become a major public health concern, affecting individuals across all age groups and contributing to increased morbidity, healthcare burden, and reduced quality of life. Recent advances in nutritional science and immunology have reshaped the understanding of allergen exposure, immune tolerance, and dietary modulation. This review synthesizes current evidence on nutritional factors influencing food allergy development, prevention, and long-term management. Emphasis is placed on early-life feeding practices, role of breastmilk bioactive components, controlled allergen introduction, microbiome-supportive diets, and nutritional interventions that reduce inflammatory responses. Additionally, therapeutic diets and emerging approaches such as precision nutrition and probiotic-based modulation are discussed. The findings highlight that nutrition-centered strategies can significantly lower the risk of sensitization and support immune tolerance, underscoring the need for integrated clinical and dietary practices for effective food allergy prevention and management.

Keywords
