SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Children with cow’s milk allergy may be at nutritional risk due to the lower intake of nutrients, such as protein, calcium, and vitamin A, which are present in cow’s milk. The objective was to evaluate children’s diets with Children with cow’s milk allergy compared with healthy controls as well as to compare the intake of proteins and amino acids from the diet followed by Children with cow’s milk allergy who consume special infant formula or plant-based dairy alternatives with Children with cow’s milk allergy who do not consume special infant formula or plant-based dairy alternatives. METHODS: Through a cross-sectional controlled study, the dietary intake of 57 children (27 with immunoglobulin E-mediated Children with cow’s milk allergy and 30 healthy controls) was evaluated. Using 24-h nutritional recalls, the total energy intake value, macronutrients, and amino acids were calculated. RESULTS: No statistically significant difference was found between the Children with cow’s milk allergy group and healthy controls for the intake of proteins and amino acids. However, the Children with cow’s milk allergy do not consume special infant formula or plant-based dairy alternatives group had a lower protein (g/kg) and branched-chain amino acid (mg/kg) intake than the Children with cow’s milk allergy consume special infant formula or plant-based dairy alternatives group. CONCLUSIONS: The Children with cow’s milk allergy group achieved the recommendations for the intake of proteins and amino acids compared to the healthy control group. However, the Children with cow’s milk allergy do not consume special infant formula or plant-based dairy alternatives group had a lower intake of protein (g/kg) and branched-chain amino acid (mg/kg) than the Children with cow’s milk allergy consume special infant formula or plant-based dairy alternatives group.
