Soy and cow's milk protein allergy

Allergic reactions to the protein in cow's milk is the most common allergy in children worldwide (almost 5 % of children below the age of 5 years).

In the case of an allergy to cow's milk protein, the symptoms occur shortly after ingestion of the milk products and even the intake of only small portions of cow's milk protein can cause allergic reactions.

An allergy to cow's milk protein can manifest itself in different ways. The most common symptoms are dermal, respiratory and/or gastrointestinal complaints.

The only treatment in the case of an allergy to cow's milk protein is to exclude all traces of cow's milk protein from the diet.

Soy products can be used by 80-90% of children suffering from cow's milk protein allergies, since they are completely free of any form of cow's milk protein.
