Tree nuts, which include pecans, are among the nine major allergens identified by the Food and Drug Administration. The federal government has specific labeling requirements for foods that can cause allergies or other hypersensitivity reactions.

Health officials say people usually experience symptoms from food allergies within a few minutes of consuming the product. The symptoms can include hives, tingling sensations, swelling and difficulty breathing. 

People who experience an allergic reaction should seek emergency medical attention.
