Systematic Review A assesses the evidence available on the influence of duration of total and exclusive breastfeeding, and timing of solid food introduction on the development of atopic and autoimmune disease, such as eczema, asthma, type 1 diabetes mellitus and food allergy. Systematic Review C assesses the evidence available on the influence of dietary exposures during pregnancy, lactation and/or infancy on the development of atopic and autoimmune disease, such as eczema, asthma, type 1 diabetes mellitus and food allergy.

This was a randomised cross-over trial that investigated whether common extrinsic factors, such as exercise and sleep deprivation can modulate the threshold of responses to allergenic foods in a representative group of adults from the peanut allergic population.

This dataset contains the full data tables detailing responses to a consumer survey conducted on behalf of the FSA and FSS across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. 6175 consumers across the UK completed an online survey between 14th and 28th January 2022. Quotas were set in each nation across age, gender and socioeconomic group to give a representative sample in each nation. The total UK sample of 6175 has been weighted down to 4918 to ensure it is representative across the four nations of the UK in terms of relative population size of each nation: 1) within nation in terms of age bands, gender, socio-economic groupings based on chief wage earner occupation, overall incidence of BAME and incidence of long-term chronic conditions. 2) In England only the sample is also representative in terms of the relative size of North, Midlands and South including London.

This model was generated as part of FSA-funded research project FS301062. The model includes a collection of thermal stability data on Hepatitis E virus (HEV) in the published literature and generated by the contractors. The model uses these data in different matrices such as food, saline and plasma to predict the impact of different time-temperature treatments on HEV titres. The model is constructed in R, and uses a Shiny app within RStudio.
