(author), Houben, G.F. (author), Remington, B.C. (author)Background: Cow's milk (CM) is an increasingly common cause of severe allergic reactions, but there is uncertainty with respect to severity of reactions at low-level CM exposure, as well as the reproducibility of reaction thresholds. Objective: We undertook an individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis of studies reporting double-blind,...article 2022

Stuldreher, I.V. (author), Kaneko, D. (author), Hiraguchi, H. (author), van Erp, J.B.F. (author), Brouwer, A.M. (author)Humans differ strongly in their willingness to try novel foods. Hesitance to try new foods is referred to as food neophobia. Understanding food neophobia is important, as it can be a significant barrier to adopt a healthy, balanced or plant-based diet. We here use electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings to obtain insight in the early attentional...article 2022

Houben, G.F. (author), Blom, W.M. (author), Meijerink, M. (author)Food allergy has been recognized already in early history as a condition triggered in some individuals upon consumptions of specific foods. However, its recognition as an essential element to be addressed in food safety management is of much more recent date. As a consequence, risk assessment and risk management practices for food allergy are...bookPart 2022

(author), Lucas Luijckx, N.B. (author)Allergenic food particles (typically ~0.5–5 mm) may unintentionally end up in food products during production and can pose a risk for the allergic consumer. A single particle can provoke allergic symptoms in an allergic consumer when the dose of allergenic protein exceeds minimal eliciting doses. However, there is a lack of fundamental knowledge...article 2021

A well-functioning immune system is critical for adequate responses to daily life health challenges such as infections. But at the same time, overshooting immune responses may lead to allergic and inflammatory diseases. Our immune balances are determined by a complex interplay between intrinsic properties such as our genome, and extrinsic...other 2021
