FDA study safe threshold for allergens

[nonuteen]

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.)
