Early Peanut Introduction

In the January 2017 issue of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunlogy, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) released an addendum to the 2010 "Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Food Allergy." The addendum recommends early introduction of peanut to aid in the prevention of peanut allergy.
