This story is identical to my own journey with my food allergy kid! Mother eliminates all allergens from her diet in order to breastfeed her son with multiple food allergies, and eventually has to leave her job because daycare just wasn't a safe option.

This kid is magnificent! Be sure to read this story!

Abe's is truly our favorite allergy-friendly treat in this household! They listened to consumers, who expressed that their products containing expeller-pressed sunflower oil were unsafe for them, and they listened! They slowly removed all traces of sunflower from their factories, making them one of the only SAFE TREATS my multiple-FA kiddo can now purchase and enjoy! Will you be our Valentine, Abe's Vegan Muffins? 😍

Progress!

"The primary objective of the legislation is to ensure that school food service personnel are properly equipped to handle the complexities of food allergies. By mandating specialized training, the law aims to improve the prevention, recognition, and emergency response to allergic reactions in school cafeterias. This initiative addresses a vital gap in current school safety protocols, prioritizing student well-being during one of the most active times of the school day."

New law aims to safeguard children in school meal programs. See how it prioritizes student safety.

People living in California had a big win! By 2026, restaurants in the state must disclose every menu item with any of the Top 9 allergens that they offer! Great job, California! Why can't the whole nation be as much of an allergy advocate as this?!

Gov. Newsom makes the ADDE Act on top allergens the law. California becomes the first to require written allergy notification on many menus.

They dosed peanut-allergic mice with zileuton before feeding them peanuts and reversed their reaction risk from 95% susceptible to 95% protected. Learn about:
—The research breakthrough that led to zileuton.
—Human trial plans + timing...and much more
