 Managing
Food Allergies Training Module
"Allergy" refers to a variety of
conditions caused by an adverse reaction
of the immune system to substances
(allergens) in the environment.
Allergens cause reactions when they are
inhaled, have contact with the skin, or
ingested.
90% of all
food allergies are caused by 8 food
items: milk, peanuts, tree nuts,
eggs, fish, shellfish, soy, and wheat.
The purpose of this training is to
familiarize teachers with various food
allergens and ways to avoid exposure
during meals, snacks, and classroom
activities, Training also addresses
potential reactions and appropriate
responses.
