About This Item

Some facts about food allergies:

Food allergy is not an intolerance. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks a food protein. In severe cases it can be fatal if not treated immediately.

More than 12 million Americans have food allergies. That’s one in 25, or 4 percent of the population. About 3 million children in the U.S. have food allergies.

Eight foods account for 90 percent of all food-allergic reactions in the U.S.: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish and shellfish.

How can you help? Be a PAL (Protect A Life): Never take food allergies lightly. Ask friends with food allergies what they are allergic to, and help them avoid those foods. Don't share food with food allergic friends. Wash hands after eating.
