- Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive or mechanistic concerns identified. Exposure: adult dermal absorption is negligible for high‑Mwt proteins (e=0), but because infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight, exposure score increased to e=1 (low measurable exposure potential). Note: topical milk proteins can cause contact allergy in sensitized individuals.
