This article gives some good background on the issue.
E.g. Melons in Greece, apple juice in Southern Italy, and of course peanut allergies in the US and elsewhere.

With regards to peanut allergies being regional, Barb Feick has the following hypothesis which she cannot find anyone to disprove. She thinks that perhaps peanut oil is to blame. And it is being injected into babies and children at an increasing and alarming rate;
Vaccines are given to create an immune response from the body. It only makes sense that the body treats anything in the vaccine as an invader that needs to have an antibody created to combat it. That is why we give vaccines. But if the vaccine has a trace of food in it such as egg or peanut, it only makes sense that the vaccine can cause a food allergy.
Peanut oil is used in vaccines in adjuvants or as a vaccine carrier. The ingredients of adjuvants or vaccine carriers are not listed individually on the package insert. So the physician would have no way of knowing that there was peanut oil in the vaccine.
Peanut allergy is almost unknown in Israel. The population eats lots of peanuts. Israel produces sesame oil. Israel manufactures is own vaccines. Sesame is a major allergy there.
Sesame oil is used instead of peanut oil in the vaccines used in Israel.
The United States and China are major producers of peanut oil and vaccinations. There are many patents for products used in vaccines that contain peanut oil
