This is the new website for the Bay Area Allergy Advisory Board, founded in 2007 in San Francisco by a parent who had spent years advocating for the safety of a child dealing with life-threatening allergies.

Do you realize that an estimated six to eight percent of children under the age of three have food allergies, and that nearly four percent of all adults have them? In the Bay Area alone, that would amount to over 250,000 people!

Yet our local schools, restaurants, grocery stores, retail shops and other public places are totally ill-equipped to help someone who has been inadvertently exposed to a food allergen. This can have deadly consequences!

We are now at the early stages of growing this organization, but there are already some exciting announcements coming soon. So please give us your contact information, and we’ll let you know what progress we are making.
