A shellfish allergy causes an allergic reaction when you eat shellfish. Sometimes, a shellfish allergy is only to certain kinds of shellfish, or you may have an allergy to all shellfish. Shellfish include marine animals with shells, such as shrimp, crab, and lobster, as well as octopus and squid. Shellfish allergy can cause mild symptoms, such as hives or nasal congestion, or more-severe and even life-threatening symptoms. For some people, even a tiny amount of shellfish can cause a serious reaction. The Fish and Shellfish Allergy template has been carefully developed to not include ingredients containing the presence of fish or shellfish. All food labels should be read carefully before consuming a product, even if it has been used safely in the past.

Disclaimer: Even though foods contained in these templates are at present free or fish or fish related products, the user still needs to read ALL food labels for possible fish containing ingredients. Manufacturers continually make changes to ingredients and/or production methods without notice.

Disclaimer: These Templates should ALWAYS be used in conjunction WITH proper nutritional counseling from a qualified professional such as a registered dietitian or doctor. Nutritional guidelines and proper education is vital to the success and safety of the program.
