Abstract

Socioeconomic status (SES) influences diet quality, but this association has not been tested in children with food allergy. In this cross-sectional study, we assessed diet quality for 173 children, including 92 participants with food allergy. We found positive associations between SES and diet quality in children both with and without food allergy.
