FARE Unveils New and Updated Resources to Support the Food Allergy Community at the 2026 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Annual Meeting

McLEAN, Va.—Feb. 27, 2026—FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education) today announced the release of new and updated resources to support the more than 33 million people in the U.S. living with food allergy, unveiled at the 2026 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) Annual Meeting held in Philadelphia Feb. 27–March 2. 

The newly added resources were designed to raise awareness of food allergy among the general public and empower patients, families, clinicians and advocates with the latest information and tools. They include: 

• The National Indicator Report on Food Allergy, supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Food Allergy AWARE initiative. This report sets a baseline for the state of food allergy in the U.S. For more information and to download the report, visit this link.
• “Anatool,” a new clinical support tool to aid healthcare professionals in the identification of anaphylaxis (not intended for public use). It was developed in collaboration with Timothy E. Dribin, MD, of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and grounded in the 2024 GA2LEN international consensus report published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
• An update to FARE’s Food Allergy Clinical Trial Finder tool, made possible through a collaboration with digital health platform Carebox. This update simplifies the complex process of finding eligible studies for patients, making it easier to fill trials quickly. This is crucial for advancing the development of new diagnostics and new therapies toward a cure.
• Together with the Alpha-gal Alliance, FARE has also introduced a new Myths and Facts resource to build broader public awareness of Alpha-gal Syndrome and help move the public beyond the “red meat allergy” label to greater understanding.  For more information and to download this resource, visit this link.
• FARE, in collaboration with allergists at Arkansas Children’s Hospital, is presenting research that highlights a FARE Neighborhoods Initiative program in Central Arkansas and Newark, N.J., which gave households, many of which were food-insecure, access to allergen-safe food and virtual education over 6-8 months. The results show improvement in quality of life, lessened financial stress, and increased confidence in managing food allergy. The abstract was led by Nadia Makkoukdji, MD, with co-authors Marie Malloy and Elizabeth Bradford, MS, of FARE and Amy M. Scurlock, MD, of Arkansas Children’s Hospital.

“Food allergy is a serious disease of the immune system affecting more than 1 in 10 Americans, yet it has been chronically under-resourced relative to its public health impact,” said Sung Poblete, PhD, RN, CEO of FARE. “The release of these new resources reflects FARE’s commitment not only to giving clinicians, researchers and public health professionals the tools they need to improve the quality of life and health of those managing food allergy, but also to elevating public awareness of this top-tier public health issue. We are pleased to announce these new resources, which will further support the food allergy community.” 

FARE will exhibit at booth 1515 during the AAAAI conference. For more information, please visit FARE at www.foodallergy.org.
