What a 3yo with Food Allergies Wants You to Know
she wants you to give her (only) allergen free foods to keep her safe 🙂
I can’t keep an eye on her to see what others offer her 24/7 so when you take extra care to not expose her to her allergens, you make her wish (and mine!) come true.
Considering she has multiple food allergies, I have to triple check food labels and often email the food company due to possible cross contamination issues in the production facilities and “may contain” labels.
Not fun fact: companies are not required by law to write “May Contain” on their products
but this label could well be the difference between life & death for 1 in 3 children (the amount of kids with food allergies)...
#foodallergyawareness Tip No. 4
Please, please confirm if it’s OK with the parents of children with food allergies before offering the child food 💛
