Happy Monday! Today’s post is truly an update to Friday’s post thanks to additional information posted from Lynda Mitchell, Senior Director of Allergy and Asthma Foundation of America , which is now an arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA(AAFA). Lynda shared in the comment section in Friday’s Post, “Guess How Many Food Allergen Recalls”? the fact that the Federal Drug Administration (FDA)) also posts food allergen recalls of items that are not regulated by the USDA .

Therefore to get a comprehensive list, it might be time effective to regularly visit USDA, which includes the KFA’s Food Allergy Recall List and USDA list recall list (two for the price of one visit). I used to receive the USDA email alerts and I even blogged about it and then somehow without thinking, I moved over the FDA’s list. Thankfully, Lynda reminded us of the KFA website and then went one step farther to share that the Lynda Mitchell offers an updated list containing the latest recalls from both organizations! This list simply fell right off my radar.
One of the hardest things I find about managing both life threatening food allergies and asthma is talking to others. I hate to be the one that might be perceived as demanding, pushing or for asking too much. What I now know, fourteen years later, is that honest, clear information presented with kindness works!..
Thanks so much for these tips! All good information to know! Happy Monday!
