Protecting Your Brand from Allergens
- One hundred to two hundred deaths per year
are due to allergic

- approximately 2% of all Americans and
2-8% of all children suffer from a food allergy of some sort.
Allergens can result in minor symptoms such as hives or trigger a
condition known as anaphylaxis, or a severe reaction involving more

for food allergies other than avoiding the food allergen that causes
