Understanding Early Allergen Introduction
What is early allergen introduction?
Early allergen introduction means offering your baby common allergenic foods, such as peanut, egg, dairy and tree nuts, around the time they start solids and continuing to include them regularly.
The goal is to help your baby become familiar with these foods early in their feeding journey through a simple and consistent routine, as Canadian and US allergy guidelines recommend.
Why early introduction matters?
The Canadian Paediatric Society reports "compelling evidence that introducing allergenic foods early … can prevent common food allergies" in babies at higher risk. Guidelines in Canada and the US now recommend offering common allergens around 6 months and keeping them in your baby's diet regularly, rather than waiting.
Allermix makes this routine easier with simple packets and clear steps that fit into everyday feeding.

What happens after introduction?
After an allergen has been introduced, the next step is keeping it in your baby's diet regularly. The Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology highlights "the importance of ongoing regular ingestion as a means of food allergy prevention," with a goal of at least once a week.
Allermix is designed to help parents feel confident including allergens in baby's routine until they fit naturally into everyday feeding.
