Crustaceans are among the most widely consumed seafood worldwide. In some countries, crustaceans and crustacean-derived products constitute an important part of the daily diet. Crustacean allergy can manifest with a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild oral allergic reactions or urticaria to severe, life-threatening systemic reactions, namely anaphylaxis or bronchial asthma. Crustacean allergy is among the top 10 food allergies in certain geographical regions, although no estimate of its global prevalence is available. The consumption of crustaceans is prohibited by certain religions.
