Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo

Each year the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has an event called the Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo or FNCE. This is an opportunity for dietetic professionals to get together and learn more about the profession and what their peers are doing. This is helpful for students to attend as well. It gives students opportunities to learn about dietetics as well as meet some internship directors. This year FNCE is being held in Philadelphia from October 6-9. FNCE is a great opportunity for students and professionals. Visit the website below to learn more about FNCE.

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.
