Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you had the symptoms of allergy to the unknown food products.As you are telling that all the ingredients within that are being used regularly.
Did you check for the expiry date whether is is stored according to the recommendation, this could have all the possibility to produce symptoms which you had.
As it has come down with benedryl, an anti allergic there should be something which you are allergy.
This is what I can make out with this medical history.
Thank you.
