Low-risk infants may still benefit from allergenic food consumption

We greatly appreciate the published findings by Perkin et  al1 and agree these data should further inform infant feeding guidelines. However, to best interpret these outcomes with respect to food allergy prevention recommendations, we find it helpful to review study definitions and study design nuances of both the Learning Early about Peanut (LEAP) and En quiring About Tolerance (EAT) trials.2,3 We believe the conclusion that low-risk infants do not benefit from allergenic food introduction is overstated.
