There are many people with a gene mutation called HFI. I had this my whole life with little issues but I know others who almost died or lost a child from this because people didn’t and still don’t know much about it. This is so needed for those with HFI. It’s already hard enough to find foods that we can eat. The labels need to be more clear not just for us to read with the condition but for places like hospitals and people who would care for someone with this condition and has never heard of it. I’ve heard of several stories of moms who almost lost their baby at the hospital because the doctors never heard of this condition and fed the babies food that they couldn’t have. Please please do this. It is so needed.
Angela supported: Strengthen the Food Labeling Modernization Act to Protect the Allergic CommunityMy son has a condition called hereditary fructose intolerance, which means that he cannot eat foods that contain fructose, sucrose, or sorbitol. Food labels carefully and when an ingredient is something like chicken broth, we have no idea what is actually in the chicken broth so we can't let him try the food. We know that this condition is rare and it's unlikely that it will be added to food labels, but clearly listing ingredients will greatly improve his ability to choose foods that are safe for him to eat.
Rachael supported: Strengthen the Food Labeling Modernization Act to Protect the Allergic CommunityMy fiance is allergic to onions...to the point it is epi level. It is in almost everything...even things that don't really need it. I hate that it is hidden under "spices" or "natural flavorings" cause it makes it so hard to shop and I panic everything she eats anything. I also wish restaurants would add it to the list of allergens cause it isn't as rare as led to believe. I wonder how many people are misdiagnosed with onion induced IBS when it is really them being allergic. Ours started that way and now is anaphylectic level. It needs to change. I am petrified every time she eats. Cause of the words, "spices" and "natural flavoring." We shouldn't have to play Russian roulette with our food.
Alyssia supported: Strengthen the Food Labeling Modernization Act to Protect the Allergic CommunityMy celiac husband and son have had a reaction each time they tried cheerios. They are clearly cross contaminated! For someone with a high intolerance for gluten, this is a big deal! And so frustrating when my son goes to a friends house or school function and is served these because they are labeled as “gluten free.”
Heidi supported: FDA: Cheerios' Gluten Free labeling needs to be removed!You’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
