Up & running, well maybe a fast walk

In an effort to encourage involvement among students and individuals in the newly accredited
Dietetics Program (DPD) at Ashland University, we have developed this blog to share current and interesting information related to this major and program. While it may take a little time to get this exactly as we like, it is a first step. I look forward to sharing our thoughts with you as we move forward.

Managing Food Allergies

Have you or a family member been diagnosed with a food allergy? Or perhaps you have a guest visiting your home with a food allergy? One important step to remember in managing food allergies is to avoid cross-contact.

Cross-contact occurs when one food comes into contact with another food and their proteins mix. As a result, each food then contains small amounts of the other food that are often invisible to us. Even a trace of food on a spoon or spatula that is invisible to us can cause an allergic reaction.

When cooking allergen-free meals, use utensils and pans that have been thoroughly washed with soap and water. If cooking several foods at the same time, cook the allergen-free meal first, then keep it covered and away from any splatter caused by other foods that are cooking. If you have handled an allergy-causing food, wash your hands with soap and warm water before serving the allergen-free meal.

For more information on separating foods, visit www.homefoodsafety.org. To learn more about managing food allergies, visit The Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network or consult a registered dietitian.
