I was recently invited to speak with Fox News Strategy Room about food allergies and my business. Did you know that over 12 million people in the US have been diagnosed with food allergies to the top 8 allergens? 1 in 133 people, over 3 million people, have been diagnosed with celiac disease and cannot eat anything with gluten. Many more people have symptoms of celiac disease, food allergies and food intolerances but go undiagnosed. All of these people, like me, have to eat diets that restrict one or more basic ingredients that are found in most of our food.

Food related illnesses, allergies and intolerances affect over 20 million people in the US. Additionally, 1 in approximately 110 children are diagnosed with autism; many of their parents remove wheat, gluten and milk from their diets. Thankfully there are many more alternatives now than before, and I am happy that we can provide delicious goodies for people who need or wish to remove the top allergens, hydrogenated oils, corn syrup and preservatives from their diets.
