TL;DR: The combination of existing test methods provides a sound test-regime to assess the safety of GM crops and is suitable for current and future GM crops with more complex modifications.

TL;DR: A substantial part of a population with peanut allergy will react to very low amounts of peanut, requiring accurate declaration of peanut content in consumer products, even more important because patients with severe reactions react to lower doses than patients with mild symptoms.

TL;DR: Background Recognition of specific peanut allergen or the diversity of IgE binding to peanut allergens may play a role in the elicitation of severe allergic reactions.

TL;DR: A decision tree approach is proposed that enables a risk assessment of substances present in food intended for infants below 16 weeks of age and the approach to be taken for the risk assessment are on a case‐by‐case basis, depending on whether the substance is added intentionally to food and is systemically available.

TL;DR: It is concluded that both DBTC and DOTC induce immune suppression in rats by a selective inhibition of T-lymphocyte activity, and immune suppression was most pronounced in animals exposed to the chemicals during the developmental phase of the lymphoid system.
