About FAAN

Mission

Founded in 1991, FAAN (The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network) is the world leader in information, resources, and programs about food allergy, a potentially fatal medical condition that afflicts an estimated 12 million Americans, or one out of every 25, and is rapidly increasing in prevalence. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Fairfax, VA, FAAN is dedicated to increasing public awareness, providing advocacy and education, and advancing research on behalf of all those affected by food allergy and anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death).

About Food Allergies

← Food allergy is a growing public health concern in the U.S.

← Between 1997 and 2007, the prevalence of food allergies among children increased 18%, to reach 3 million U.S. children.

← More than 12 million Americans have a food allergy. That’s one in 25, or 4 percent of the population.

← The incidence of food allergy is highest in young children – one in 17 among those under age 3.

← Food allergies result in more than 300,000 ambulatory-care visits among children in the U.S. annually.

← Eight foods account for 90% of all food-allergic reactions in the U.S.: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios, pecans), wheat, soy, fish, and shellfish.

← Even trace amounts of a food allergen can cause a reaction.

← There is no known cure for food allergy; strict avoidance of the food allergen is the only way to prevent a reaction.
