Share our #MoreThanPeanuts social posts
Help create public awareness this fall with our recently launched social media campaign called #MoreThanPeanuts.
Research shows that 84% of all anaphylactic reactions in children were food-induced. Such reactions can occur because people are unaware of other priority food allergens beyond peanut, and the same precautions may not be taken.
Our #MoreThanPeanuts 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.
Learn more about the campaign and share the social posts. Help us create conversations across the country!
Survey: Public perception of food allergens
Food allergy is a serious medical condition, regardless of what food you are allergic to. We are interested in your view on the general public’s understanding of food allergens relative to peanut. Through your experiences, we can gain better insight into how all allergens are understood.
Please complete our quick survey before August 26th.
Thank you in advance for your support and sharing your thoughts.
