Research estimates that 32 million Americans live with a food allergy, including 26 million adults. These allergies are on the rise in children, but also impact a growing number of adults. In this episode, we sit down with Susie Hultquist, food allergy advocate and CEO of Spokin, who advises Fortune 500 companies how to make the workplace safer and more welcoming for employees with food allergies. We’ll touch on the places where allergies lurk in foods, packaging label secrets and what food manufacturers are doing to address this growing crisis. We also dive into the growth in adult-onset food allergies, the incoming allergy-dense workforce and what employers and workplaces can do to support employees with food allergies.
