They need to know...: Food allergies can be fatal. Any siblings, caregivers, teachers, or other responsibile contacts need to know the foods that need to be avoided, how to read labels, how to use an epipen, (epinephrine) etc. Everyone needs to speak up to question the cooks, food servers, etc. About ingredients in dishes. When old enough, your child needs to learn all of this as well.
