Warning over food wrap allergy
Some food packaging contains hidden latex that could trigger potentially fatal allergic reactions, a study has revealed.
The investigation commissioned by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) found that, in some cases, the rubber proteins were transferred to food.
The findings, reported in Chemistry and Industry magazine, have prompted calls for changes in food labelling.
However, the FSA said it was too early to draw firm conclusions.
