The
Food Allergy Initiative (FAI) is a
501 (c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting research towards the
effective treatment and cure for food allergies and anaphylaxis.
Today, it is estimated that 11,000,000 Americans are affected by food
allergies, at least 30,000 experience episodes of food-induced anaphylaxis, and
hundreds die each year in the United States.
Through effective educational
programs, FAI raises awareness of food allergies and the danger of anaphylaxis
while also working with the nation?s policy makers to create a safer
environment and improve care for the food allergic population.
