DESCRIPTION:Food allergy has now reached epidemic proportions in the UK wh
 ere the personal\, social and economic cost extends not only across the na
 tion but affects other developed countries as well. This has prompted the 
 House of Lords Science and Technology Committee to publish its report on a

 h into food allergy is urgently needed to ensure that sound scientific evi
 dence underpins public policies. \n \n\nThe aim of this first EuroScicon m

  in scope. It strives to provide a broad overview of the following\; \n\nf
