June 3, National Egg Day

History

The history of National Egg Day was said to be related to a poultry plague occurring around 45 A.D. When the poultry and eggs were proved to be safe the emperor issued a royal proclamation to the Roman people dedicating the third day of June as the Holy Roman Day of Eggs.

Food Allergy Awareness Week May 12 -18, 2013

The Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) was founded in 1991 and is the world’s largest nonprofit organization providing information about food allergy to the media, schools, health professionals, pharmaceutical companies, the food industry, and government officials, as well as the food-allergic community.

FAAN’s mission is to raise public awareness, to provide advocacy and education, and to advance research on behalf of all those affected by food allergy and anaphylaxis.

Respect Every Bite

Food Allergy Bullying: It's Not a Joke

In 1997, FAAN created Food Allergy Awareness Week to educate others about food allergies, a potentially life threatening medical condition. This year they are celebrating the 15th annual Food Allergy Awareness Week (FAAW), May 12-18, 2013.
