Eating out with food allergies in the U.S. can be challenging. We need food allergen labeling laws for restaurants to help protect people with food allergies and prevent severe allergic reactions. In this webinar, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) – co-sponsor of the ADDE Act, California SB 68 – and other advocacy leaders will talk about:

  • The current reality of dining out with food allergies
  • AAFA’s goal to improve food allergen labeling on menus
  • California’s ADDE Act
  • Advocate voices
  • How you can take action

Presented by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America:

  • Kenneth Mendez, President and CEO
  • Jenna Riemenschneider, Vice President of Advocacy and Policy
  • Alexa Jordan, Advocacy and Policy Coordinator
