The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is currently seeking public comment on two issues of great importance to the food allergy community – food allergen threshold levels and preventive controls in the food manufacturing industry.
FARE has created a working group of medical advisors, regulatory experts and food allergy parents that will examine these issues and formulate a response to be submitted as part of the Federal Register Dockets that have been established for each issue. FARE’s working group will be seeking feedback from the food allergy community on these issues in the coming weeks and months – we will keep you updated as we move forward.
