Food protein-induced enterocolitis (FPIES) is a non -IgE, cell- mediated food allergic disorder that can be severe and lead to shock. 1 In spite of the potential seriousness of reactions, awareness of FPIES is low, high-quality studies providing insight into the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management are lack ing, and clinical outcomes are poorly established. Unmet needs in the field includ e identification of the non-invasive biomarkers, clear understanding of the disease mech anisms, data regarding prevalence, and having uniform approaches to diagno sis and management. This document is the first international consensus based on the available evidence and aims to assist practitioners in their care for the patie nts with FPIES.
