Milk allergy is one of the most common types of food allergies in children. It is an immune system reaction to milk protein. Milk contains many different proteins, but casein and whey are the two groups of proteins most likely to be allergens.

Milk is a common ingredient in many recipes and store-bought foods. This can be challenging for parents and caregivers of children who have a milk allergy.
