Allergies are caused by an over-reaction of an individuals immune system to a specific substance which most other people would find harmless.
To the person with the food allergy, if a meal contained a substance they were allergic to, they could reasonably consider it a "toxin". However, to every other person without that particular food allergy, it would not be considered a "toxin".
As such, "toxins in food" do not cause allergies, but they may trigger them in already allergic individuals.
E.g, some people are born with a penicillin allergy. But in most cases this will not bother them, unless they are given penicillin. In this case, they will have an allergic reaction; penicillin is the trigger, rather than the cause of the allergy.
