Food allergies are a growing concern, especially in Western societies and can dramatically impact the quality of life of affected individuals. In recent years, various food allergens have been introduced into the oral care industry to improve product properties and provide the best possible treatment. Since small doses of food allergens may be sufficient to trigger allergic reactions, the non-discrimination of the sources of certain excipients in the product composition can compromise the patient's health. Therefore, knowledge and awareness of allergies and product composition among health professionals are critical on behalf of patients’ and consumers’ health. This study aimed to ascertain the presence of dairy products (e.g., cow's milk proteins and lactose), cereals (e.g., gluten, soy, and oats), fruits, nuts, spices, shellfish, and additives as excipients in oral care products for outpatients and products for professional use in the Dental Office. Among the 387 surveyed products, the highest prevalence of food allergens was found in toothpaste, fluoride varnishes, and alginates, mostly in spices and fresh fruits. As food allergies may occur because of erroneous information or a lack of labeling on the allergen list, manufacturers should be more rigorous in declaring allergens on product labeling regarding the safety of consumers.

The spice ginger is prepared from the rhizome of Zingiber officinale (Rosc.) belonging to the family Zingiberaceae. The unique aromas and flavors of the many cultivars make them suited for multiple food-related purposes. Besides being used in the preparation of pickles, candies, gingerbread, biscuits, soups, puddings, alcoholic beverages, and soft drinks, ginger and its extracts are also packaged in dietary supplements. Ginger has been a part of traditional medicine for thousands of years treating such ailments as gastrointestinal disorders, nausea, pain, cold, and asthma. In the past 10 to 15 years, a considerable number of preclinical and clinical studies have explored in more detail the potential of ginger to ameliorate diverse conditions such as nausea and vomiting, glycemic dysfunction, pain, and the metabolic syndrome. This narrative review provides an update on the clinical evidence related to potential benefits of ginger and discusses future research opportunities.
