The first thing that comes to mind with chocolate is hazelnuts. A LOT of chocolate, including spreads (not just Nutella) etc. contain hazelnuts.
It could be that there are traces in those chocolate cakes? As so many things say 'may contain...' it's almost useless to me, unless I gave up eating, ha, ha!

What symptoms do you get when you eat these foods? Is it skin rash or something else?

[curlytots71]

Something else my tongue swells up find it hard to swallow , sometimes feel dizzy depends how severe the reaction is sometimes it's with one mouthful of something

[Dr Chris Rutkowski]

some patients present with spontaneous tongue oedema (swelling = angioedema) which might seem to be caused by an ever increasing number of foods. They are often not allergic to any food at all though. It would be best to see an allergist to have a detailed discussion and tests incl skin allergy tests (after detailed discussion)
