Australia has the highest incidence of food allergy in the world, and it’s growing at a rapid rate. It is estimated that there are 650,000 Australians with a diagnosed food allergy, and many more undiagnosed. Food Allergy Week is an initiative of A&AA (Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia) and is dedicated to promoting community understanding of food allergy to help protect those at risk. While people with food allergy need to take all reasonable steps to avoid their allergen/s, it is also important for the community to have a basic understanding of allergy to help keep those at risk safe.
