According to Food Allergy Canada, mustard is considered a priority food allergen by Health Canada, which means it is one of the foods that cause the majority of allergic reactions.

Mustard Can Be Found In Condiments, Salad Dressings, Spices, Sauces

Mustard is a plant and belongs to the Brassicaceae family which also includes broccoli, canola, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussel sprouts and turnip, the site says. Since these plants are closely related to mustard, their seeds contain proteins that are very similar to the proteins in mustard seeds and people with a mustard allergy should avoid them.

According to Health Canada, some foods that commonly contain mustard include condiments, salad dressings (vinaigrettes and crudités), spices, flavouring, seasoning and sauces, amongst other items.

This week in the United Kingdom, food manufacturer Welsh Specialty Foods had to recall its Welsh Chunky Piccalilli after it was found to contain undeclared mustard. The piccalilli in question was marked with a label saying it was mustard-free.
