Survey about food allergy thresholds

Check out this survey and pass it on! The data will be collected to help FDA determine how to finalize legislation on food labeling.

Dear Friends of FARE:

As you may know, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is seeking public comment on two matters of great importance to our community. Both of these issues directly speak to how food is labeled for the presence of allergens. First, the FDA is seeking to determine whether it can safely establish threshold levels for major food allergens. Secondly and separately, the FDA is seeking public comment on its proposed rule – required by the Food Safety Modernization Act – on preventive controls (including food allergen controls) within the food manufacturing industry. FARE has convened a working group comprising food allergy parents, allergists and researchers to help inform FARE’s response to the FDA on both of these issues.

It is important to us to hear from members of the community on these issues, so we have created a survey to help us get your input. The survey takes about 5-10 minutes to complete and includes questions about the food allergies you are managing, your current behaviors with respect to food labeling and your knowledge about allergen thresholds.

The survey is available at this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/C25NVH8

We hope you will take the time to provide us with your input. Please feel free to share the link and this email with your food allergy networks and support groups.

Thank you for your participation and for your support of FARE.

Let's make a difference!
