Note: Question marks (?) in the table indicate either that the information was not given or could not be determined.
a Calculated based on the following estimate protein levels: 16% in raw hazelnuts, 20% in fish meat, 3.6% in whole milk, 37.5% in dried milk, 25% in whole peanut, 45% in defatted peanut flour, 10% in egg white, 84% in dried whole egg , 26% in raw egg, 1.8% in soy formula (FAO, 1995; Wensing et al., 2002; Bindslev-Jensen et al., 2002). In studies involving fish, the amount of fish is given when there is insufficient information to calculate protein levels.
b When responses are observed at the lowest dose tested, the reported LOAEL may not represent the lowest dose at which a reaction could occur.
c It is not clear if all children were tested with all allergens.

Note: Protein levels too low to detect or measure were reported by Tattrie and Yaguchi (1973), Hoffman and Collins-Williams (1994), Yeung and Collins (1996), Peeters et al. (2004) for peanut oils and by Tattrie and Yaguchi (1973), Porras et al. (1985) for soy oils. These values were not included due to the lack of methodological information.
a None of the publications provide sufficient information to evaluate the overall extraction efficiency, accuracy, reproducibility, or precision of the method used. In addition, in most cases, it was not clear whether replicate samples were tested or whether replicate measurements were carried out for individual samples.
b Crevel et al. (2000) is a review paper that includes previously unpublished data. These data are given here, but are considered unpublished because the research that generated these values has not specifically been peer-reviewed.
