Blog Post CommentIt is encouraging to see these changes being made, and I hope we start to see a decline in the number of recalls we see along with better management and education of allergens within manufacturing facilities. I did not know that the FDA didn't have the ability to force a recall for mislabeled products and that it was up to the manufacturer, this is a move in the right direction for sure. To the facilities have to have procedures in place to ensure that their products are not cross...

Blog Post CommentI have learned of a company that uses non toxic chemicals and is transparent with the ingredients. They actually support labeling for the cosmetic industry.

Blog Post CommentThis will eliminate the necessity of training to administer epinephrene. Even after getting trained, a lot of people are hesitant to give the injection and things get delayed. If this spray gets approved, it has the potential to save a lot of lives.

Blog Post Comment“Delays of any kind prolong the long wait for a potentially life-saving therapy for peanut allergy.” Should read for food allergies. Not just specifically for peanut allergy.

Blog Post CommentHi Sunny - that sounds really scary and I'm so glad you checked the label so thoroughly. Peanut and tree nuts are different allergens, so something can be peanut free but not tree nut free...and vice versa. Thank you for the reminder to not make assumptions about labeling "claims" and always read the full ingredients label.

Blog Post CommentWow, that was a great catch, Sunny! Does your daughter avoid both peanuts and tree nuts? Here's a great resource that's helped me understand labeling ... FAQ About the Food Allergen Labeling Consumer Protection Act . It was eye-opening how many exceptions there were!

Blog Post CommentSo happy this is advancing. Thank you for your work on it! While my daughter has not had a known reaction to sesame her rast and skin response to sesame are off the charts. Avoiding it purchased foods is very tricky.

Blog Post CommentThat's good. It seems like Mylan is recognizing that with the rise of food allergies, a LOT of epi-prescribed folks are children, and they and their parents need extra guidance in using their device safely. (As opposed to an adult patient.)
