We hope that in their memory, we can find solutions for those affected by severe food allergies. There is hope for the future!
Five years after Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Management Act was introduced in the U.S. Congress, FAAMA has finally passed as part of S150 (FDA Food Safety Modernization Act Summary). It is expected to be signed into law by President Obama.
(4) Directs the Secretary to develop voluntary food allergy and anaphylaxis management guidelines for schools and early childhood education programs.
This is a victory and a step in the right direction.
There are also several ongoing studies which may lead to new treatments or even better . . . A CURE! Check out these video links for a recent summary by the Food Allergy Initiative
