UV Light Removes 80% Of Allergens From Peanuts, University of Florida Study

Scientists are using pulsed light to remove allergens from peanuts in the hope that most people will be able to eat them safely.

If allergens can be cut from 150 milligrams of protein per peanut to below 1.5 milligrams, 95 percent of people with peanut allergies would be safe, researchers say.

Eliminating all peanut allergens is a challenge, because doing so may risk affecting texture, color, flavor, and nutrition.
