New App Supports Parents to Test Food Allergies for Kids

The Centre for Food Allergy Research Centre found one in 10 Australian babies develop a food allergy within the first 12 months.

 Tracking all possible food allergies a child may develop can be time-consuming for parents, who are often battling with conflicting or inaccurate information.

The National Allergy Council launched a free app for parents to introduce common food allergies in age-appropriate forms, minimising the risk of developing a food allergy.
