Allergy to organism

@Bruce Goldberg

  • Feedback from CMAG




  • Question posed as to whether existing allergy to animal source concepts (e.g. dander) should be inactivated with new allergy to animal protein concepts created vs. renaming existing content

    • Group felt that allergy to animal protein was significantly different in meaning to allergy to animal part and thus inactivation and creating new concepts is preferred.


  • Additional discussion required for

    • Allergy to other animal parts such as feathers 

    • Allergy to edible animals

      • It was brought up that animals considered as pets in some countries may be eaten in other countries 

    • Allergy to plants (entire plant vs. seeds, fruit, pollen, etc.)

Allergy implementation guide

@Bruce Goldberg , all

  • Feedback from member forum presentation

    • There was agreement from several member countries to work together with our CRG to develop use cases that would be used for a proposal to seek approval from the management team. I have posted the recording below:

      The recording will be played back for the Asia-Pacific members of the MF on November 12.

  • It was pointed out that there are existing use cases in the implementation guide.

    • Review of these use cases was started

  • @Kin Wah Fung suggested that we work with member countries that have existing or pending projects (e.g. Belgium and Portugal) to determine how our guidance can assist them and to develop additional use cases 

  • @Kin Wah Fung also suggested we work aggressively to complete the document by assigning individuals areas to work on with deliverables.
