After processing, immunoassays showed 100 percent inactivation of peanut allergens in whole roasted

"We are extremely pleased that we were able to find such a simple solution to a vexing problem that has enormous economic and public health ramifications, both for peanut sensitive individuals, and the food industry as a whole"
Quite interesting eh? Now, Dr. Ahmedna and his team are optimizing the process for removal of allergens in other foods.
