Grocery Shopping For A Food-Allergic Child

Every month, thousands of children are diagnosed with food allergies, forcing their parents to cope with the often daunting task of finding “safe” foods for them to eat. To help these families, Plumtree Press in Lake Forest, Calif., has published a free downloadable report, “Grocery Shopping For Your Food-Allergic Child.”

Available at www.FoodAllergyBooks.com/shopping.html and written by food allergy expert Linda Coss, “Grocery Shopping For Your Food-Allergic Child” teaches parents:

*How to determine if a product is safe for their child

*Why they should always read the ingredient statement of each item they purchase

*What they need to know about the dangers of cross-contamination

*How and when to call the product’s manufacturer

*How Kosher labeling can be helpful for the dairy-allergic

*And other important information they need to keep their food-allergic child safe.

Ms Coss is the author of two books on food allergy: How To Manage Your Child's Life-Threatening Food Allergies: Practical Tips For Everyday Life and What’s to Eat? The Milk-Free, Egg-Free, Nut-Free Food Allergy Cookbook. Both books are available at www.FoodAllergyBooks.com, Amazon.com, and various booksellers nationwide.
