## TL;DR

This study explores the previously under-researched possibility that rapeseed oil can cause food allergies.

## Contribution

The paper presents a novel clinical case study on the allergenic potential of rapeseed oil.

## Key findings

- Rapeseed oil may trigger allergic reactions in some individuals.
- The allergenic properties of rapeseed oil are not well understood despite its common use.

## Abstract

Rapeseed oil (Brassica napus), a plant from the Brassicaceae family, is widely utilized in culinary practices and industrial applications. Despite the prevalence of rapeseed oil, its allergenic potential remains largely unexplored, particularly in the context of food allergies. This study investigates a potential food allergy linked to rapeseed oil.
