By Dave Bloom| SnackSafely.com@ A hastily scheduled FARE Town Hall was held yesterday, during which CEO Dr Sung Poblete defended the organization’s opposition to legislation vital to the food allergy community. Not one of the 100-plus participants voiced support for FARE’s decision, while many expressed their frustration, myself included.
By Dave Bloom| SnackSafely.com@ We’ve all read about the tragedies and near-misses of children playing pranks on allergic kids by knowingly exposing them to their allergen. One that immediately comes to mind is the horrific story of Karanbir Cheema, a 13-year-old boy with a severe milk allergy who suffered anaphylaxis after schoolmates flung cheese at him. Thankfully, this installment of our popular You Be the Judge series falls in the near-miss category.

Company Info
SnackSafely.com
SnackSafely.com provides straightforward, actionable information to improve the lives of the 32 million in the US suffering from food allergies, 5.9 million of whom are children. We strive to eliminate anaphylaxis by leveraging our online properties to educate, advocate, and connect the allergic community with products and services that help toward achieving this goal. Our primary service is the publication of the Safe Snack Guide, a catalog of allergy-friendly foods relied upon by thousands of schools and tens of thousands of families nationwide. SnackSafely.com has developed a proprietary platform designed to foster greater transparency in food product manufacturing with regard to allergens. Food manufacturers join the SnackSafely.com Manufacturer Partnership at no cost by disclosing how 11 allergens are processed during the manufacture of each product, and in return receive free listings in the Safe Snack Guide and Allergence – our allergen product screening service. All companies large and small are encouraged to join our Manufacturing Partnership, which currently comprises over 160 manufacturers including Tootsie Roll Industries, Enjoy Life Foods, and That's It. Our program provides a means for traditional manufacturers, i.e. those that do not specialize in "free-from" products, to engage with the allergic community by providing additional disclosures not required by the FDA.
