New Allergy Test on the Horizon? November 4, 2008

Allergy testing — minus the risk
Right now, the only way to definitively diagnose a food allergy is to feed a child some of the suspected food at a hospital so they can get prompt treatment if they have a serious reaction.
But immunologists at Dalhousie University’s medical school are working with doctors at the IWK Health Centre in Halifax to devise a laboratory test that could identify allergies without exposing a child to risk.
In department head Jean Marshall’s lab, researchers can grow the mast cells involved in allergic responses, add serum from a patient’s body, introduce the food and watch what happens.

The Center for Disease control has released a new study that shows that now 3 million children and teenagers have food allergies.
CDC Study Finds 3 Million U.S. Children have Food or Digestive Allergies
The number of young people who had a food or digestive allergy increased 18 percent between 1997 and 2007, according to a new report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2007, approximately 3 million U.S. children and teenagers under age 18 – or nearly 4 percent of that age group – were reported to have a food or digestive allergy in the previous 12 months, compared to just over 2.3 million (3.3 percent) in 1997.

EGG, MILK, AND SOY ALLERGY ALERT
October 31, 2008
TO: Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network Members
FROM: The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network and General Mills
RE: Progresso Hearty Tomato Soup
General Mills is voluntarily recalling a single day’s production of
Progresso Hearty Tomato soup because of a product labeling issue. Product
produced on this date may have been mislabeled and may contain undeclared
egg, milk, and soy.
This voluntary recall includes only 19-oz. cans of Progresso Hearty Tomato
soup with the following code date printed on the bottom of the can:
19May10 NV VN-3.
A production error resulted in a limited number of cases of Progresso
Light Vegetable and Noodle soup being mislabeled as Progresso Hearty
Tomato soup. The mislabeled soups contain a product that is visibly
different from the soup depicted on the label. Rather than containing
Progresso Hearty Tomato soup, a mislabeled can would actually contain
Progresso Light Vegetable and Noodle soup.
No other varieties or production dates of Progresso soup are affected by
this recall.
Consumers wishing to request a refund or further information may contact
General Mills Consumer Services at (800) 200-9377.
This mailing has been funded by General Mills to bring this situation to
your attention.
