If you are concerned about potential food contamination, it is always best to err on the side of caution. You may consider taking an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) to help with any potential allergic reactions. If you develop any symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or difficulty breathing, please seek medical attention immediately.
