MARCH IS FOOD ALLERGY
AWARENESS MONTH
Food
allergy is a growing public health issue that impacts almost every school
across the United States. Nearly 6 million children in the U.S. – which equates
to 1 in 13, or roughly 2 in every classroom – have a food allergy.
Studies indicate that 16-18% of school-age children who have food allergies
have had a reaction in school. In addition, in approximately 25% of the
reactions that occur at school, the student had not yet been diagnosed with
food allergy. Help your child BE A PAL (protect a life) TO A FRIEND
