Certain foods can trigger allergy symptoms in pollen-sensitized individuals through a well-documented phenomenon known as pollen-food allergy syndrome or oral allergy syndrome.

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently supports the claim that certain foods can cause allergic reactions in individuals with pollen allergies due to cross-reactivity between homologous proteins in pollen and plant-based foods (Pollen Food Allergy Syndrome / Oral Allergy Syndrome).
