Food Allergies
According to Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) there are 15 million people in America with food allergies. Chances are your meeting and event participants are among them. Although there are more than 150 foods that are known to cause allergic reactions, the top eight allergens - wheat, soy, tree nuts, peanuts, dairy, eggs, fish and shellfish - cause more than 90% of all allergic reactions.
