ABSTRACT
KEY POINTS This is the first study to quantify the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the human olfactory system in detecting peanuts in common food items. With more competing sensory input, the human olfactory sensitivity to peanuts decreases; this is especially evident when peanuts are mixed in sauces. Metrics established in this study can be used to develop standards for determining the clinical utility of allergen detecting devices that are currently under development.
