About
FARE
Food
Allergy Research & Education (FARE) works
on behalf of the 15 million Americans with food allergies,
including all those at risk for life-threatening
anaphylaxis. This potentially deadly disease affects 1 in
every 13 children in the U.S. – or roughly two in every
classroom. Formed in 2012 as a result of a merger between
the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network and the Food Allergy
Initiative, FARE’s mission is to find a cure for food
allergies, and to keep individuals with food allergies safe
and included. We do this by investing in world-class
research that advances treatment and understanding,
providing evidence-based education and resources,
undertaking advocacy at all levels of government, and
increasing awareness of food allergy as a serious public
health issue.
