Food Allergy Action Month timeline

Peanut immunity

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggested that parents should introduce some infants (as young as four months old) to foods containing peanuts in order to avoid food allergies later in life.

Note: Always check with your doctor.

2018

Epinephrine shortage

The short supply of this life-saving drug caused widespread anxiety for both children and parents. So-called "EpiPens" can treat the most severe allergic reactions.

2004

Stricter labeling laws

They’re quite serious — and potentially life-threatening. That’s why Food Allergy Action Month is so vital.

Even though food allergies affect one in 13 children, the condition may begin either in childhood or as an adult. Overall they’re an issue for more than 30 million Americans. And remember, any food — not just common suspects like milk and peanuts — can trigger an allergy. Some people are allergic to more than one food. 

Allergies occur when the body’s immune system overreacts to an otherwise harmless food protein known as an allergen. 

Spend part of Food Allergy Action Month this May helping yourself, and others, make the right food choices.
