Expert Verdict

Hydrolyzed protein sensitization risk: Post-2010 Japanese case reports of hydrolyzed wheat protein in soap elevated scrutiny of all hydrolyzed plant proteins. Ensure supplier provides MW distribution data confirming peptide fragments are below sensitization threshold. Rice allergen cross-reactivity is low but non-zero.
