As for exposure for the kids, my allergist recommended giving them as many different foods as possible as soon as possible. For nuts and peanuts, I mixed small amounts into oatmeal or baby cereal. Eggs started out as chopped up hard boiled and fish/shellfish was chopped fake crab sticks.
That being said, all of my food allergies are adult-onset, so more atypical, so who knows if any of it mattered anyway.
