HOPKINS, Minn. 8/16/2010 -- Allergies to common foods like peanuts, eggs, milk and shellfish are on the rise, leaving families and schools more confused than ever on what is safe to eat. Individuals with food allergies, their families, teachers and caregivers will benefit from a FREE Food Allergy Resource Fair Saturday, September 25, 9:00 am- 12:00 pm, at the Hopkins Eisenhower Community Center at 1001 Highway 7 in Hopkins.



The Resource Fair will feature allergy-friendly food and product companies from around the United States.
