Featured Event
May is Food Allergy Action Month and May 10-16 is Allergen Awareness Week. We work to ensure that consumers have accurate, complete, and informative labels on the food that they buy. Food Allergies are a top concern for us from a food safety perspective because while some allergies are just irritating, approx. 30,000 Americans go to the emergency room each to get treated for allergic reactions to food.
For more insight to food allergies, visit the Food Safety website.
