• Will review this. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:18, 8 July 2024 (UTC) Looks decent and I like ALT3, but on second thought I'm probably not familiar enough with medical topics to give a good review on this. I'll leave it to someone else to give a full review. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:50, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

• I'll take over.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

• Adequate sourcing: - Needs more sources for the Safety precautions and Eating challenges sections.
• Neutral:
• Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

• Cited: - ALT0 is verified. ALT1's source does not seem to mention food enjoyment. Neither of ALT2's sources from the article nor the one in Ben Cohen (businessman)'s article mention that his anosmia is congenital. Assuming that ALT3 is the same source as ALT0, it also checks out.
• Interesting:

QPQ: None required.
