Understanding the association between the two is vital to developing integrated public health strategies to improve the nutritional status of the population. This study aimed to investigate the association between household food insecurity and food allergy among low\u2010 to middle\u2010income households in China. In this online survey study across three provinces in China, we analyzed data from 4795 households headed by middle\u2010aged adults. The association was analyzed using logistic regressions, adjusting for socioeconomic characteristics. In the overall survey sample, the prevalence of household food insecurity was 29.1%. Compared with food\u2010secure households, households with moderate food insecurity (aOR = 2.70, 95% CI: 2.20\u20133.29) and severe food insecurity (aOR = 3.34, 95% CI: 2.47\u20134.52) had a higher likelihood of having food allergies. Among households including members with food allergies, food insecurity was associated with higher odds of allergy\u2010induced hardships. We found a graded association between food insecurity levels and food allergy, with food insecurity exacerbating the burdens of allergy management. The findings underscore the need for integrated policies that improve access to affordable, allergen\u2010free food in China.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Practical Applications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study highlights that low\u2010income households managing food allergies often struggle to afford safe, allergen\u2010free foods. Policymakers can use these findings to design subsidy programs for hypoallergenic products and to develop affordable, allergen\u2010free alternatives. These efforts could help reduce financial strain and improve health outcomes for food\u2010allergic individuals in resource\u2010limited families.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/1750-3841.71299","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,30]],"date-time":"2026-07-30T06:34:14Z","timestamp":1785393254000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Association Between Food Insecurity and Food Allergy Among Low\u2010 to Middle\u2010Income Households in China: A Cross\u2010Sectional Survey Across Three Provinces"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"91","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-5880-7213","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guofan","family":"He","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environmental Medicine Engineering, Ministry of Education School of Public Health Southeast University Nanjing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-6832-3869","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kaiyin","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environmental Medicine Engineering, Ministry of Education School of Public Health Southeast University Nanjing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-2278-016X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jinfang","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environmental Medicine Engineering, Ministry of Education School of Public Health Southeast University Nanjing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-1990-9515","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuxuan","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environmental Medicine Engineering, Ministry of Education School of Public Health Southeast University Nanjing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3117-9173","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environmental Medicine Engineering, Ministry of Education School of Public Health Southeast University Nanjing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7126-1131","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fei","family":"Men","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environmental Medicine Engineering, Ministry of Education School of Public Health Southeast University Nanjing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/nu16111684"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","unstructured":"Ballard T.
