Apples of the variety Elise can be consumed safely by most people with a mild apple allergy. This is the outcome of Dutch research performed by Wageningen University and the University Medical Centre Groningen in the framework of the European ISAFRUIT project. In taste and storability Elise compliments Santana, previously the only apple variety marketed as low-allergenic, being suitable for most individuals with a mild apple allergy. The combination of Santana and Elise in a supply chain of growers, traders and retailers could make low-allergenic apples available from October to June.
