      "summary": "Media attention to food allergies is the result of the recent tracking of food allergy\r\nsufferers and a clear rise in the number of affected individuals. Several efforts are\r\nunderway to improve the ability of individuals who have a food allergy to avoid\r\nproducts that cause symptoms that can range from mild to serious. The Food and Drug\r\nAdministration (FDA) and the Food Allergy Issues Alliance each have released\r\nguidelines to address the issues of labeling and cross-contamination. Nine state\r\nattorneys general have petitioned FDA for stricter rules, which are also supported by\r\nsome consumer groups. The FY2002 agriculture appropriations bill directed FDA to\r\naddress and report on cross-contamination; however, this report had not yet been\r\nsubmitted. Most recently, the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of\r\n2004 (P.L. 108-282) was enacted on August 2, 2004. This report will provide\r\nbackground on food allergies and review efforts to provide improved labeling\r\ninformation for food allergy sufferers; it will be updated to reflect legislative or other\r\nactivity.",
