Trigger Food Allergy Awareness —

There has been a dramatic increase in food allergies around the world - mainly in children. Currently there is no cure for food allergies and no definitive answer as to what is causing them. What is agreed is that raising awareness is crucial. TRIGGER AWARENESS is a not for profit initiative raising much needed awareness to help PROTECT and ENHANCE the lives of children with food allergies and sufferers everywhere.

Despite statistics showing increased cases of severe food allergies each year – nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish and shellfish allergies there remains a real lack of public awareness about the potentially lethal consequences these allergies carry.

It is estimated that up to 250 million people may suffer from food allergies worldwide.

The ‘TRIGGER’ Food Allergy Awareness Initiative has been created by Australian journalist and mother GRACE FARAH, whose daughter suffers from severe food allergies.

“Unless you are a sufferer, their parent or caregiver, it is impossible to imagine the perpetual vigilance required to keep them safe” – Grace Farah
