Abstract
Background Traces of allergenic food represent a significant health risk for persons who have an allergy to specific food. Knowledge is missing on the different risk components and particularly on the link between presence of traces of allergens in food, food consumption behaviours of allergic sufferers and thresholds of reaction. Moreover, there is a lack of risk-based guidance and operational tools of those involved in allergen risk management, who are food industries, the allergic individuals and the food regulators. Peanut is associated with the highest prevalence of food allergy and is one of the food allergens that lead to the most severe adverse effects.
