The past 15 years have seen an increase in the prevalence in food allergies. With that increase has also come increased awareness and advocacy for changes that help the food allergy community. From laws that made label reading easier (but not perfect!) to revolutions in new treatments to expanded growth in the “free from” food industry that have given people with food allergies more food choices than ever before. So this leaves us asking – what’s next? People with food allergies still face daily challenges. What is your big idea for a solution that will improve the lives of children (and adults) with food allergies?

We asked you to share a photo of you, your child or family on our online community and caption the image with your idea for change. We will pull all the ideas and photos together to create a pictorial report to share with our community, advocates, industry leaders and policymakers. Let’s spark change today, together! Five entries were selected to win a Kids With Food Allergies prize package. The 2018 Faces of Food Allergies photo contest is made possible by kaléo.

The photo contest is now closed, but you can still add your idea for change!
