A group of kids in line to get a school lunch with the text: Advocacy Win: Protecting Children With Food Allergies Act Signed into Law!

The Protecting Children with Food Allergies Act is now law! It says that school food service staff must be trained to prevent & respond to allergic reactions.

AAFA worked with Sen. Durbin, Sen. Fischer, & our partners to advance this protection for students. Huge thanks to our amazing advocates!

Preventive measures put in place since the Food Safety Modernization Act became law help to keep food safer. #Recalls are part of that safety net. There is more to be done and AAFA is leading advocacy efforts to improve allergen labeling.

Great news! New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation requiring allergen labeling for pre-packaged foods. This means sandwiches, soups, salads, and other pre-packaged foods sold at grocery stores, cafeterias, and delis and more will include labels for the most common allergens.
