Abstract

Currently, 5% of the adult and 8% of pediatric populations are experiencing food allergies. Prevention of allergies can be difficult but may be achieved through reading food labels and eliminating allergen-containing ingredients in a household. However, young adults living away from home have greater responsibilities and may be at a higher risk for allergic reactions. Due to the higher risk for fatal food allergy-induced anaphylaxis during college time, public health awareness and education is imperative to decrease this problem. The aim of current short communication is to inform the dietitians and nutritionists on the need of nutrition education intervention in local college campuses.
