01 Mar 2021 --- Allergy guidelines encouraging infant peanut consumption may have reduced the risk of infant peanut allergies by up to 16 percent in Australia, according to a study by Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI), Australia. Dietary guidelines for parents in Australia were adjusted in 2016 to suggest that feeding infants peanuts at an early stage of life, before the age of 12 months, could help cultivate defense against peanut allergy development.
