Be a MATE Programme - Make Allergy Treatment Easier
Recent evidence that peanut and tree nut allergy have doubled in the last 5 year¹ period. There is currently no cure for food allergy. Avoidance of the allergen is crucial. 2-4 in every 500 children are at risk of a life threatening allergic reaction or anaphylaxis.²

The growing number of childhood allergies to common foods such as peanuts, milk and eggs has lead Anaphylaxis Australia’s president, Maria Said, to encourage whole school communities to help keep children safe with the help of Anaphylaxis Australia’s new Be a M.A.T.E – Make Allergy Treatment Easier programme for schools and childcare facilities. The programme will assist teachers and childcare workers in educating all children and young people on the seriousness of food allergy and its daily management.

“Whilst food allergy has the potential to be life threatening, education and effective communication make it a manageable condition,” says Maria Said. “The more society knows about food allergy the safer and less ‘different’ individuals with allergy feel.” Individuals aged 10-19 years are at highest risk of fatality from food anaphylaxis³ and if we can “Make Allergy Treatment Easier” in the early years we hope that teens will take fewer risks and feel more at ease about allergies by:

• Letting others know they have a serious food allergy.
• Always reading food labels and making enquiries about foods to be eaten.
• Always carrying their emergency medication.
• Letting others know if they suddenly feel unwell, especially after eating.

Think F.A.S.T. Every year in Australia 10 to 20 Australians die due to an allergic reaction caused by a particular food, according to the AAI (Formerly FACTS). AAI would like more Australians to “Think F.A.S.T.” and the majority of these fatalities could be avoided.

“By Thinking F.A.S.T. — recognizing symptoms that affect the Face, Airway, Stomach, and Total body — and treating an allergic reaction promptly, we can save lives”

Thanks to the support of Anaphylaxis Canada for their original concept and permission, AAI has been able to develop and adapt the Think F.A.S.T. poster for Australia.

Eating Out With Food Allergies

For many of us, Eating Out with Food Allergies may be a little daunting. Not only for the parent whose child with allergies may be entering their teen years or a child who begs to join their friends at the local shopping centre food court but also for those who have never eaten out. It is also daunting for the Food Service Industry and we must work together on basic principles to help minimise risk for people with allergies whilst knowing we cannot ever eliminate all risk. Eating out will always be a risk but there is a lot that both the person with allergies and the Food Service workers can do to minimise risk of a food allergic reaction. Again, it is about education, sharing of information and always having your Anaphylaxis Action Plan and your EpiPen^® with you. Be educated, be informed and be prepared.

The Food Service Industry has the customer’s best interests at heart; they would like all their customers to enjoy their food with friends, leave the facility incident free and make return visits. They need assistance and we can help raise awareness of food allergies and anaphylaxis. Let us work together and do what we can to prevent a food-induced allergic reaction whilst ‘Eating Out With Food Allergies'.’

Here are resources that the food service and the food allergic customer can use to raise awareness and help minimise risk.

A3 Size Colour Posters
(all are $ 2.20 each or 5 for $ 10.00)
