Competing Interests

Prof. Johan Garssen besides being employed as a professor at Utrecht University, is also employed by Danone Research B.V. as a research manager. The research presented in this manuscript, however, was performed independently of his Danone Research B.V. duties. Therefore, his employment does not alter our adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials. The remaining authors have no competing interests.
