We want to create public awareness during this time of newness with our #MoreThanPeanuts social campaign.  Research shows that 84% of all anaphylactic reactions in children were food-induced. Research also notes anaphylactic reactions occur because people are unaware of other priority food allergens beyond peanut, and the same precautions may not be taken. Our campaign focuses on supporting all food allergies, bringing attention to the seriousness of allergies, and highlighting the importance of knowing what’s in the food you eat and/or share with others. Share this important message with your friends, family, and others and drive awareness.

This program is ideally suited for grades 4-6 although it can be easily adapted for other grades. Imagine a world where the public understood the seriousness of food allergy and knew how to support you and your family to live well with this condition, including how to prevent reactions and treat them if they happen. The most effective way to broaden the knowledge and capabilities of the public is through the education system. With this new program, we can start building the foundation of understanding and inclusion. Please share with educators. Visit foodallergycanada.ca/SchoolProgram to learn more.
