Abstract

<p>Background: There are no reports on the prevalence and social acceptance of food allergies (FAs) and FAinduced symptoms in nursery schools in Japan.</p><p>Purpose: The purpose of this study is to clarify the current status of FA among children in nurseries.</p><p>Methods: Investigations were conducted in childcare facilities nationwide through survey request forms found on the Web page or sent via post.</p><p>Result: We received responses from 15722 out of the 32210 institutions (48.8%) to whom survey request forms were sent.</p><p>The overall prevalence of FA was 4.0%, with 6.4% at age less than 1 year, 7.1% at age 1, 5.1% at age 2, 3.6% at age 3, 2.8% at age 4, 2.3% at age 5, and 0.8% at age 6. Ninety-three point four percent of the institutions responded that they catered to children with FA, whereas 3.3% of the institutions responded that they did not. The details of the meal service were as follows: 52.4% were meals without causative foods, 39.5% were alternative meals without causative foods, and 3.3% were packed lunches from home. Seven point six percent of infants had at least one FA symptom in the institutions.</p><p>Conclusion: Several nursery schools were accepting children with FA, and school lunches were also modified by removing causative food and providing alternative meals. On the other hand, several infants experience FA-induced symptoms, and it is necessary for each department to establish a system to reduce accidental ingestion and to ensure proper emergency response.</p>
