Complex: This subject is garnering increasing interest in recent years. The problem with food allergies is that they can manifest in so many different ways and be mediated by different immune systems (other than just IgE alone). In addition, some food proteins are toxic to a selected group of people and some foods (such as fish) are just disliked by the individual.
