Read labels carefully. Some products contain additives such as carrageenan, which is derived from red algae and contains alpha-gal.

Alpha-gal is also found in medications and skincare products. This is dangerous, and not easily solved by simply going vegan.

Having food allergies is exhausting and anxiety-inducing. Deep diving into every single label, fearing cross contamination and being on edge upon stepping outside your bubble or risking a slip up sucks.

Can we go back to guilting people into more sustainable habits instead of celebrating the increased risk of anaphylaxis?
