Food Allergy Week is an important annual initiative of Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia that aims to raise awareness about food allergy in Australia, to help reduce the risk of a reaction for those living with food allergy and to help manage potentially life-threatening emergencies when they happen.
Australia has one of the highest incidence of food allergy in the world in fact, one in 10 babies born in Australia will develop a food allergy.

There are several ways that you can Show You Care during Food Allergy Week 2016:
