"If we continue this way, by 2050 half of the population will have a food allergy," says the co-founder of a new Dutch company that aims to prevent food allergies in children.
FoodNavigator reports on Vini Mini's Startkit, which contains capsules or sachets of peanut flour to give to babies between four months and one year old.
A follow-up kit contains 100% peanut flour and a measuring spoon, and the company says the method can reduce the risk of a baby developing a peanut allergy by 80%.
"One in four children have a food allergy, and this number has doubled in the past 10 years," says Vini Mini co-founder Jozien Boersma.
"If we continue this way, by 2050 half of the population will have a food allergy."
The company was inspired by Dutch mother Laurie Lancee, who went to the emergency room after her six-month-old son ate a small piece of egg and suffered a severe allergic reaction.
"It's healthy and safe because it's in small doses and no salt and sugar," Boersma says.
"The idea is that parents can give it in a safe setting in small dosages for the first time, which increase perstep."
