Allergen Threshold Study

An Allergen Threshold Study investigates the minimum amount of a food allergen—like peanuts or tree nuts—that can cause an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals. The goal is to identify these safe exposure levels so food producers can set labeling standards that protect consumers with allergies. By understanding at what point allergens pose a risk, companies can better prevent accidental reactions, and consumers can make informed choices. These studies are crucial for improving food safety guidelines and ensuring that allergen labeling accurately reflects potential risks, helping those with food allergies manage their health confidently.
