Guidelines for the prevention of peanut allergy in the United States

Allergists-immunologists are frequently consulted for specific recommendations regarding when to introduce solid foods to infants at risks for food allergy. While they had been given evidence from the literature for the lack of benefit from a delay in the introduction of allergenic foods, there was no evidence for lack of harm, let alone a benefit, for their early introduction. Results from the prospective randomized clinical trial that evaluated the preventive role of early introduction of peanut in the diet of infants at risk for peanut allergy (known as the Learning Early About Peanut Allergy [LEAP] study)1 have recently been published.
