https://www.facebook.com/share/1GQXTeuKxD/?mibextid=wwXIfr

The Protecting Children with Food Allergies Act has been signed into law, strengthening food allergy safety in schools nationwide. Led by Senator Dick Durbin and Senator Deb Fischer, the bipartisan legislation was enacted as an amendment to the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act and requires food allergy safety training for school food service staff.

FARE was proud to support this legislation and extends its gratitude to Senator Dick Durbin for his leadership and longstanding commitment to protecting children with food allergies.

“By ensuring school food service staff receive training on food allergy safety, you’ve helped make schools safer for millions of children nationwide,” said Sung Poblete, PhD, RN, CEO of FARE.

The new law amends USDA requirements for the National School Lunch Program, formally making food allergy safety training a mandatory part of annual training for all school food service personnel.
