The resolution introduced in the Wisconsin Legislature designates May 2025 and May 2026 as Food Allergy Awareness Months. This initiative aims to raise awareness about the significant impact of food allergies, which affect over 33 million Americans, including nearly six million children. The resolution highlights the increasing prevalence of food allergies, the serious nature of reactions such as anaphylaxis, and the substantial economic burden these allergies impose on families, costing approximately $34 billion annually in the U.S.

The resolution also acknowledges the role of the Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) organization, which is dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals with food allergies and advancing research for new treatments. By designating these months for awareness, the resolution seeks to enhance public understanding of food allergies and the importance of recognizing and responding to allergic reactions, ultimately promoting safety and health for those affected.
