Mission:
To unite organizations working in food allergy and anaphylaxis in order
to exchange information, form partnerships, and advance key issues of
importance to those with food allergy and anaphylaxis.
The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (USA) established the Food
Allergy & Anaphylaxis Alliance (the Alliance) in 1999 to facilitate
information sharing among nonprofit organizations working in the field
of food allergy around the world.
Participating organizations in the Alliance must:
- be a nonprofit/not-for-profit
or the equivalent;
- have a board of medical
advisors who review their literature;
- represent patients
with food allergy; and
- operate in an environment
that seeks to build consensus and cooperative efforts between various
constituencies.
The Alliance meets every year, typically in the summer or fall.
