Just read this article through Allergic Living where the FDA is taking public comments regarding a *risk assessment* of whether safe thresholds for food allergies can be established. 
This sounds scary as I'm thinking the safe threshold would be NONE! 
Thoughts?

Hi nonuteen,

There is a thread on this topic in main that has some interesting comments.

FDA to Assess Safe Food Allergen Levels

BTW, welcome to the board!

------

Mods, should the threads be merged?

(Eventually, they probably should-- but temporarily, that is one nice thing about having that merge function-- individual threads can run on multiple portions of the boards until they aren't 'current events' anymore, and then they can be merged easily.)



Resistance isn't futile.  It's voltage divided by current.
