Can you be allergic to pepperoni?

Answer 1

Well you could be allergic to salicylates, family of asprin. Some pepperoni does that to me.

Answer 2

Oh, absolutely, friend! It's possible to be allergic to pepperoni, just like you can be allergic to any other food. Your body might react in different ways, so it's important to listen to what your body is telling you and talk to a healthcare provider if you suspect you have a food allergy. Just remember, there are plenty of delicious toppings out there to enjoy on your Pizza, so don't worry too much!

Answer 3

Its not possible to be allergic to pepperoni itself. You may be allergic to one of the herbs inside of it, or maybe something got into the meat.

But for some it is very possible to be allergic to pepperoni itself. An allergy diagnosed in recent years is "alpha-gal" -- sometimes called the "red meat allergy". For those with alpha-gal, any meat (or even by-products) from a mammal can cause reactions ranging from minor nausea and/or hives to severe (life-threatening) anaphylactic shock. (Turkey pepperoni without any beef or pork may well be safe for these people.) Alpha-gal is rapidly in various regions around the world including the southeast US and is known to be potentially caused by the bite of the Lone Star tick. Search for "alpha-gal".
