School Food Allergy Policies

School food allergy policies are guidelines designed to keep students with food allergies safe. They typically include identifying allergies, avoiding allergenic foods in meals and snacks, and training staff to recognize and respond to allergic reactions. Policies also involve notifying families, creating allergy-aware environments, and having emergency plans like carrying epinephrine auto-injectors. The goal is to prevent allergic reactions while allowing students to participate fully in school activities, fostering a safe and inclusive atmosphere for all students with food allergies.
