Food allergy affects families' quality of life, can be lifelong and life-threatening, urging the identification of early modifiable risk factors. Formula feeding in the first days of life may increase the risk of cow's milk allergy, a risk often attributed to cow's milk allergens exposure.

This study investigates whether partial colostrum feeding increases the risk of food allergy beyond cow's milk.
