New Food Safety Act

With the passage of the Food Safety and Modernization Act, you should know that the FDA in consultation with the Department of Educaton is required within one year from December, 2010, to develop voluntary guidelines for managing the risk of food allergy and anaphylaxis in schools and early childhood education programs. The guidelines are required to address, among a lot of other issues, a variey of strategies to reduce the risk of exposure to allergens in classrooms and cafeterias.
This is great especially if you have a child who easily suffers from food allergies.
I just wish we could get this done quickly and not wait one year.
