AAFA celebrates @GovMikeKehoe's signing of MO HB 2372, which includes Elijah’s Law!
Elijah’s Law will make sure that staff in childcare settings are trained to recognize the signs of allergic reactions and respond quickly in emergency situations.

CA's groundbreaking ADDE Act is law as of July 1. The 1st state to require restaurants (with +20 locs) to list top 9 food allergens on menus. Addie Lao, law's namesake, is thrilled. Read about + @AAFANational's work to expand to 7 more states in 2026: allergicliving.com/2026/06/2…

ICYMI: All NYC childcare centers & schools will now be required to stock epinephrine devices under a new local law. The law builds on provisions in NY state's Elijah's Law & could serve as a precedent/catalyst for moving to a statewide mandate. Full story: allergicliving.com/2025/12/0…

NY State's Senate & Assembly have passed bills amending Elijah’s Law. Childcare programs will now be 'required' - not just 'allowed' - to have stock epi and train staff to respond to anaphylaxis emergencies. Just needs Gov's signature and it will be law! allergicliving.com/2026/06/1…

Did you see? Big win for food allergies in CA! Gov. Newsom signed SB 68 (ADDE Act) into law—requiring restaurants with 20+ locations to disclose top 9 allergens on menus by July 2026. A huge step that could inspire other states! Learn more: @AAFANational @SenatorMenjivar @rehuey

AAFA was proud to support this bill and we're excited to see it become law.

With 3,500 FDA job cuts, concerns are rising about food allergy protective measures. How will the job cuts affect food allergy inspections, labeling & recalls? We explore with @AAFANational, @RepMaxwellFrost. Plus, how consumers can help support the food allergy safety net.
