Early allergen introduction, microbiome research, and immune programming studies suggest food allergy prevention may begin during infancy.

Vaginal delivery, exclusive breastfeeding, and early sibling exposure strongly predicted colonization with bifidobacteria that suppress IgE responses in a recent study.

Longitudinal data identify aromatic lactate–producing bifidobacteria and the metabolite 4-hydroxy-phenyllactate as key factors in early immune tolerance.
