Food Allergy in Children

About this Priority Setting Partnership 

1 in 5 children have a food allergy. As well as concerns about the effect of excluding food(s) from the diet of the child on their growth and health, food allergy has a significant psychological and social impact on both the affected child and their family. 

The Food Allergy in Children Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) launched in 2024. The PSP will be working with children, parents and health care professionals to identify the unanswered research questions that matter most to them about the prevention, diagnosis and care of food allergy in children.

The initial survey opened in October 2024.
