(author), Baumert, J.L. (author)Food allergy and allergen management are important global public health issues. In 2011, the first iteration of our allergen threshold database (ATDB) was established based on individual NOAELs and LOAELs from oral food challenge in roughly 1750 allergic individuals. Population minimal eliciting dose (EDp) distributions based on this dataset...article 2020

(author)Implicit approach-avoidance tendencies can be measured by the approach-avoidance task (AAT). The emergence of mobile variants of the AAT enable its use for both in-the-lab and in-the-field experiments. Within the food domain, use of the AAT is concentrated in research on eating disorders or healthy eating and is seldom used as an implicit...conference paper 2020

(author)Substantial progress has been made in characterising the risk associated with exposure to allergens in food. However, absence of agreement on what risk is tolerable has made it difficult to set quantitative limits to manage that risk and protect allergic consumers effectively. This paper reviews scientific progress in the area and the diverse...article 2020

Kaneko, D. (author), Brouwer, A.M. (author), Hogervorst, M. (author), Toet, A. (author), Kallen, V. (author), Erp, J.B.F.van (author)Emotional state during food consumption is expected to affect food pleasantness. We hypothesize that a negative emotional state reduces food pleasantness and more so for novel foods than for familiar foods because novel foods have not yet been associated with previous emotions. Furthermore, we expect this effect to be stronger when judging the...article 2020

(author)Previously, we published selected Eliciting Dose (ED) values (i.e. ED01 and ED05 values) for 14 allergenic foods, predicted to elicit objective allergic symptoms in 1% and 5%, respectively, of the allergic population (Remington et al., 2020). These ED01 and ED05 values were specifically presented and discussed in the context of establishing...article 2020

(author)Consumption of meat containing viable tissue cysts is considered one of the main sources of human infection with Toxoplasma gondii. In contrast to fresh meat, raw meat products usually undergo processing, including salting and mixing with other additives such as sodium acetate and sodium lactate, which affects the viability of T. gondii. However...article 2020
