>Our food shouldn't contain allergens

Every protein is allergenic to somebody, and even some non-proteins are allergenic (e.g., they are small molecules that can get inside a somatic protein, which changes the somatic protein's shape, which makes the somatic protein allergenic).

Disagree. There are proteins that if you're allergic to them your body will turn on itself. You'll be dead and no longer care what you're allergic to.
Replace "protein" with "non-self protein", then, or "any protein in food".
Ok, we can agree that food should't contain human meat Mr. Pendant.
