Samples of Sweet Alexis dairy, egg, tree nut and peanut free products were sent to Texas! The Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (http://www.foodallergy.org/) will be making a presentation introducing FAAN ’s food allergy programming to the 54 Lead Nurse Administrators for the Texas Education Agency’s Region 4. According to FAAN, these Lead Nurse Administrators are from 54 school districts representing over 1,000,000 students, 1,400 campuses, and more than 83,000 professional educators – roughly 25% of the public school population in the State of Texas . Sweet Alexis samples will be included in a gift basket that will be presented to each nurse. As food allergies can be life-threatening, it falls under the disabilities act and school districts must learn to accommodate these children. Thanks to FAAN, schools are learning how to do just that including sampling safe food options such as Sweet Alexis. Hopefully soon, food safe products will be in the schools so the 4% of children with food allergies (according to the L.A. Times) can have a safe and delicious treats like everyone else.
