Food Allergy Virtual Media Roundtable
We are holding a free Webinar about food allergies for the media on May 6, 2009 from 1-2 p.m. ET. Reporters will be able to obtain information about the prevalence, treatment, and management of food allergies; what it is like to live with food allergies, and the state of food allergy research. If you are talking with a reporter about doing a story for Food Allergy Awareness Week, have them contact Jennifer Love at FAAN (jlove@foodallergy.org 703-563-3061) to participate in the Webinar.

The Webinar will be recorded and posted to our website so that anyone can view it.
