Dietetics Student Receives Scholarship

Heather Bumbalough, an AU Dietetics major, received the Alpha Lambda Delta National Trow Scholarship for outstanding academic and professional work and promise. There are only 35 of these scholarships awarded nationally, so this is a tremendous honor and recognition. Ms. Bumbalough currently serves as the AU Student Dietetic Association's Secretary and is beginning her junior year. The AU Dietetics Program is very proud of Ms. Bumbalough's accomplishments and expects many more recognitions and contributions from Heather as she moves forward in her academic and professional paths. Congratulations Heather!!

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.
