Introducing our new Healthcare Advisory Board
We are fortunate to have a distinguished group of Canadian allergists, who are clinicians and researchers, on our newly created Healthcare Advisory Board.
The Advisory Board’s mandate is to support Food Allergy Canada in its mission to educate, support and advocate for individuals living with food allergies and the risk of anaphylaxis by:
- Providing guidance on Food Allergy Canada’s national direction and initiatives
- Offering expert medical opinion based on evidence on Food Allergy Canada programming, resources, and other areas as required
- Being involved and supportive of Food Allergy Canada’s priority initiatives

Kashi Dark Mocha Almond Whole Grain bars and Kashi Chia Granola Dark Chocolate, Almond & Sea Salt bars will now include peanuts in the “May contain” statement.
Thank you to our funders and corporate partners for their support!
Through the generous contributions of our funders and corporate partners, we are able to advocate on key issues that are important to the food allergy community, improve quality of life, develop priority educational initiatives, and create awareness activities to help decrease the knowledge gaps in the public around food allergies.
These individuals and organizations greatly contribute to the overall success of Food Allergy Canada and without their generous support we would not be able to fulfill our work.
