Celery was not included in Annex IIIa because no provocation tests had been carried out. However, the results of these tests are now available and have been scientifically confirmed (cf. Ballmer-Weber BK, Vieths S, Lüttkopf D et al. Celery allergy confirmed by DBPCFC. A clinical study in 32 subjects with a history of adverse reactions to celery tuber. J. Allergy Clin Immunol 2000, 106: 373-8), and celery should therefore be added to the list of allergens.
Aucun test de réaction n'ayant encore été réalisé, le céleri n'a pas été inscrit à l'Annexe III bis. Étant donné que de tels tests existent désormais et que leur exactitude est scientifiquement prouvée (cf. Ballmer-Weber BK, Vieths S, Lüttkopf D et al. Celery allergy confirmed by DBPCFC. A clinical study in 32 subjects with a history of adverse reactions to celery tuber. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2000, 106: 373-8), le céleri doit être ajouté à la liste des allergènes.
