Initial EASA Class 1 with a nut allergy?

Does anyone here hold an EASA Class 1 medical whilst suffering from an allergy with risk of anaphylaxis (EpiPen Adrenaline Autoinjector holder)

I currently hold a UK CAA Class one (Albeit with an OML), and I'm currently in the process of applying for an initial EASA Class 1 medical (Thanks Brexit) with Denmark Trafikstyrelsen, but they have now requested my Allergist to provide them with "An anaphylactic risk, as a percentage per year, if exposed to the allergen"?

Myself and my allergist are a little perplexed on how to calculate this risk, but I suspect it has something to do with the 1% rule in aviation medicine. Wikipedia

-History:
.I had my first and only reaction in childhood, and haven't had another since
.Been in close proximity to allergen in recent times with no issues at all
.Have not ingested allergen since, to my knowledge

Anyone had a similar experience?
Thanks!
