Foods to Avoid: Eggs
Note: Some people are so sensitive to egg proteins that cooking fumes can stoke an allergic reaction.

Common Hidden Sources: Ice creams, egg substitutes, pastas, candies, hot dogs, meatballs, breads, rolls and other baked goods, mayonnaise, meringues, marshmallows, nougat and marzipan.

Delicious Swaps:

Sub mashed avocado, hummus or tapenade for mayo on sandwiches.
Scramble tofu with salsa, black beans and a little cheese.
Make your own frozen yogurt instead of eating commercial ice cream.
