FARE — Food Allergy Research & Education

What it is

FARE is the largest US food allergy advocacy and research organization, and the source of the emergency care plan template most schools and pediatric practices use.

What it covers

Food allergy prevalence, management guidance, and the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Emergency Care Plan — a structured document for recording a child's allergens, symptoms, and epinephrine instructions.

How to verify

Prevalence figures and the care plan are published on foodallergy.org with dates.

How SafeMama uses it

Prevalence framing on the Allergy & Emergency Prep overlay, with the year attached. The care plan is linked, never reproduced: it is FARE's copyrighted document. Where SafeMama publishes its own emergency printable, it is independently worded, modeled on the structure rather than copied, and held for human review.

Limitations / conflicts

FARE receives pharmaceutical and food-industry funding, which is disclosed where its positions rather than its prevalence data are cited. Prevalence estimates vary by methodology; the year and source belong in every citation.
