Milk and Egg Allergy - what's out of bounds?

[qsack]

Hi
I've just been told today that my 1 yr old has a milk and egg allergy. The egg is more severe than the milk. Can anyone tell me out of all the general food that we eat what i need to rule out. I know that cakes and most biscuits have egg in. Milk i think is a little easier to work out and if he had a bit i don't think it would matter.

his birthday in 2 weeks so i wonder if i can make a cake without eggs?

any advice gratefully received. x

Milk powder goes in lots of things - even plain biscuits. You'll have to become a label reader I'm afraid.

Eggs - as prev post plus fresh mousse, pate, some ice creams, lemon curd, some battered or breadcrumbed items, pancakes, fried rice.

I think I saw an egg-free cake thread the other day... hang on...

Milk & Egg Free Cake Thread here.

Enjoy!

great, thanks this thread also had a link to an 'eggless' website. I'm sure once i get my head around it and it' becomes part of my weekly shop the label reading won't be so crazy!

Egg - sausages, burgers, anything breaded or battered, bread/pasties/pies sometimes glazed with egg, some pasta and noodles, lots of pre-made pasta sauces.

You need to check labels religiously - some of these things are available egg-free.

Beware of E322 (egg lecithin).

Good luck.
