We present three cases of occupational allergy caused by the manipulation of food: cheese, chorizo (typical Spanish salami) and salty ham. A IgE-mediated sensitization is demonstrated by skin tests, RAST and positive challenge tests to Acarus siro and Blomia kulagini of the cheese rind, Euroglyphus maynei of the "chorizo" and Tyrophagus putrescentiae of the salty ham.
