Is the allergy still present if eggs are cooked vs. raw?
Written by: AllergyMom
September 27, 2009 · Posted in Ask An Allergist, Egg-Free
There are several proteins in egg that are responsible for egg allergy. Some of these are sensitive to heat and are broken down (denatured) by heating, whilst some proteins are unaffected by heat. If someone is allergic to the heat sensitive protein they might react to uncooked egg, yet tolerate egg baked in the form o0f muffins or cake
