FDA study safe threshold for allergens
« on: January 18, 2013, 11:58:25 AM »
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?

(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.)
