Purpose Of Review: There is an increasing awareness among clinicians that industrial and household food processing methods can increase or decrease the allergenicity of foods. Modification to allergen properties through processing can enable dietary liberations. Reduced allergenicity may also allow for lower risk immunotherapy approaches.

Background: Data on oral immunotherapy (OIT) for hazelnut allergy is limited and its potential to cross-desensitize for other nuts is unknown.
Objective: To study the efficacy and safety of hazelnut OIT in desensitizing hazelnut and additional tree nuts.
Methods: A prospective observational study of 30 hazelnut allergic patients aged ≥4 years who underwent hazelnut OIT.

Background: Sesame allergy (SA) is a growing concern because of its association with severe reactions and the limited knowledge of long-term outcomes.
Objective: This retrospective study aimed to identify the risk factors influencing persistent SA (PSA) in children to improve management and select suitable candidates for oral immunotherapy (OIT).
Methods: We analyzed the electronic medical records of 84 children with confirmed SA, as defined by consistent clinical reactions and immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated sensitization.

Food allergy typically begins early in life and persists as a lifelong condition. Delayed introduction of allergenic foods followed by years of hesitancy to introduce these foods early may have contributed to the increase in food allergy prevalence in recent decades. Most infant feeding guidelines focus on the importance of early introduction of allergenic foods in infants at around age 4-6 months.

Food allergy is a common disease which has substantial impacts on the quality of life of patients and their families, and all reactions have the potential for causing life-threatening anaphylaxis. Food allergic individuals currently have 2 FDA approved therapeutic options available to them aside from life-long allergen avoidance: oral immunotherapy (OIT), and omalizumab. OIT for food allergy has been extensively studied in clinical trials and currently provides the greatest level of protection, however it also has a high burden of treatment.
