Abstract
The objective of this project was to investigate the financial costs of having a food hypersensitivity, and the impact on quality of life for individuals and their families in both Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Safefood commissioned researchers at the Technological University Dublin who collaborated with colleagues at Queen’s University Belfast. They looked at:
The direct and indirect costs (including health)
The intangible or non-monetary costs
The prevalence of food hypersensitivity in both jurisdictions.
Online surveys were carried out from November 2019 until October 2020 and over 3,000 completed surveys were returned by adults or parents of children who had a medically diagnosed food allergy, a medically diagnosed coeliac disease or food intolerance, including a suspected or undiagnosed food allergy.
