Food allergies are a growing public health challenge that affects an estimated 3.4 million children and 13.6 million adults in the United States alone. With more than 160 foods known to cause allergic reaction, the need for vigilance and up-to-date clinical knowledge has never been greater. As the first point of contact for many patients, you play a pivotal role in early identification, education, and management of food allergies.

The landscape of food allergy treatment is evolving with new medications offering proactive tools to help prevent anaphylaxis after accidental ingestion. The AAFP has added resources to help you improve patient outcomes with the latest updates on treatment protocols, and patient education tools to help you manage food allergies with clarity and confidence.
