FARE, also known as Food Allergy Research & Education, has debuted a new food allergy awareness campaign just before the Super Bowl. The organization is emphasizing that food allergy is a disease and that there is "a silent, growing public health epidemic."
FARE's food allergy awareness campaign aligns with the ethos of Super Bowl ads. The public service announcement features NFL player, Super Bowl champion, food allergy dad, and FARE Innovation Ambassador, Jason McCourty and his daughter Kai. Dubbed 'The Kitchen, the campaign "draws humorous parallels between preparing for a big game and managing food allergy safety at home."
This PSA extends FAREs unwavering commitment to boost awareness for food allergies — last year, the organization successfully prompted Uber to modify its Super Bowl campaign.
