🎃 #Halloween is near and can be scary for kids with #FoodAllergies! Check candy labels for allergens. Separate out allergen candies in mixed bags. Don't guess & call manufacturers. Pack epinephrine. Choose non-food treats if possible. Stay safe: allergyasthmanetwork.org/news/allergy-s…

Many #foodpantries are unable to provide safe food options for college students that struggle with food allergies and #foodinsecurity, according to a study in @AnnalsAllergy. The study used @FOODiversityOrg's Food Insecurity Questionnaire. ⬇️healio.com/news/allergy-a…

We want to thank @ars_pharma, @ViatrisInc and @kaleo for donating epinephrine to the hurricane ravaged areas of North Carolina as well as @FOODiversityOrg for raising funds to send allergy friendly foods to those impacted by the hurricane. In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, the allergy community faces heightened challenges. Disrupted environments have increased exposure to allergens, including stinging insects as well as isolation and limited resources have made it extra challenging for families relying on allergen-friendly and gluten-free foods. This is all happening while access to critical medications like #epinephrine, #asthma inhalers, and other essential medications remains strained. • ARS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. donated 1,700 neffy prescriptions (two devices per pack). These #epinephrine nasal spray devices will be delivered to the United Way North Carolina chapter and distributed to EMS groups and the most impacted areas. Anyone seeking access to epinephrine can contact United Way North Carolina directly at unitedwaync.org. • Kaléo has donated 2,000 AUVI-Q epinephrine auto-injectors to Direct Relief in support of their hurricane response efforts to be distributed to areas in need. • FOODiversity is coordinating #allergy-friendly donations through their Disaster Relief Fund: foodiversity.org/donate/. "In times of crisis, it’s the collective power of organizations and communities that makes a real difference. Whether it’s the generous donations of epinephrine or individuals like you and me who donate allergen-friendly food, we’re seeing a remarkable outpouring of support that will undoubtedly save lives." – Wendy Gordon Pake, President and Founder of the nonprofit FOODiversity. Please help spread the word to those in need.

Leading up to our #CapitolHill Day, @FOODiversityOrg was honored to present at @AllergyAsthmaHQ’s Social Influencers Summit about “Food Allergies and Food Insecurity.” Thanks to Allergy & Asthma Network for leading this important advocacy work. #foodallergy #foodinsecurity

This should be front page news. We have effective medicines for asthma - the most common reason for childhood hospitalization - & kids don’t have access to them anymore. Because of business decisions made by companies. And kids are literally unnecessarily suffering & dying.

As we wrap up Food Allergy Awareness Month, it's important to remember that there are ways to prevent food allergies from occurring. Find out more from allergist Ruchi Gupta, MD. #foodallergyawareness #earlyintroduction #doctors @ruchisgupta
