AllergyKids Foundation
The goal of AllergyKids is to inspire and educate parents to protect the health of their children with food allergies. The goal is to make it easier to identify a child with life threatening food allergies through a universal symbol for food allergies and to provide comprehensive independent research so that you can make the best choices for your family. Did you know that for the last ten years, food allergy research has been funded by the processed food industry? AllergyKids felt that it was time to take food allergy research out of the box, because they believe that there is a cure for food allergies. Not just a vaccine, but a CURE. Period.
