A member asked:
I am allergic to chocolate (hives). i have wondered lately if i might be allergic to molasses as well. do they have any ingredients that might explain this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chocolate allergy : Real allergy to pure cocoa is rare, there are several other ingredients in chocolate as nuts, that can explain your symptoms, also pure molasses (cane sugar) allergy is rare. Your best bet for now is to avoid whatever is causing you symptoms, keep an antihistamine handy for accidental exposure, you may need an epinephrine pen if symptoms are severe, seek an allergist consultation if feasible
