Selderij was vanwege nog ontbrekende provocatietests nog niet opgenomen in bijlage III bis. Daar de resultaten van deze tests inmiddels bekend en wetenschappelijk onderbouwd zijn (zie Ballmer-Weber BK, Vieth S, Lüttkopf D et al". Cellery allergy confirmed by DBPCFC. A clinical study in 32 subjects with a history of adverse reactions to cellery tuber". J. Allergy Clin Immunol 2000, 106: 373-8), dient ook selderij op de lijst van allergenen te worden opgenomen.
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.
