Allergy to sunflower seed and sunflower butter as proposed vehicle for sensitization

Conclusions: A case of sunflower allergy in the context of household consumption of sunflower butter has not yet been reported. We suggest that homes which are intentionally peanut-safe may provide an environment whereby infants with impaired skin barrier are at increased risk of allergy to alternative ?butter? products being used, via cutaneous exposure to these products preceding oral introduction to the child.
