The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases defines a food allergy as an adverse health effect arising from a specific immune response that occurs reproducibly on exposure to a given food. Now, although this may be true for peanut allergy where we should have a reaction every time we're exposed to any kind of peanut, that's not, strictly speaking, true in terms of cow's milk allergy. As we know, about 80% of children will become tolerant to baked forms of cow's milk, which we will discuss in length during the presentation today, before they become tolerant to cow's milk.
