Artichokes are offered fresh or as canned products. You rarely find them as ingredients in semi-finished or instant meals such as refrigerated pizza, instant salads, pesto, dips or sauces. Food which contains artichoke is accordingly labelled, so that avoiding artichoke is easy.
Possible cross reaction: Artichokes have common allergenic structures with the pollen of mugwort, in the protein profilin. If one reacts allergic to or is sensitised to pollen of mugwort, allergic reactions are possible if one consumes artichokes.
