My 2 year old has life threatening food allergies that make daily life challenging. Now I have to check daily that a commercially available product isn't going to kill him. The FDA is there to protect consumers like my family. Cross contamination or bad labels could have devastating consequences.
Update on FDA Recalls
At this time, the FDA has paused emailing notifications for food allergen recalls, but they are still posting all recalls on their website. We recommend that you check their website daily.
