Students will learn how to itemize a list, budget, and find items in a grocery store.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Going to the grocery store can be a chore, but it can also offer a number of learning opportunities for children of all ages. Grocery store learning includes using money and budgeting skills, promoting knowledge of food groups, and practicing reading and writing.﻿﻿

Goal of the Activity: To practice math and literacy skills in the real-life environment of the grocery store

Skills Targeted: Food groups, estimation, life skills, early literacy skills

Activity #1: Making a List

Efficient shoppers know what they want before they go into the store and this often means making a list. The way in which your child participates in this activity depends on his age and reading ability. Here are some ideas based on your child's age.

Make a Picture List (Ages 2-4)

Write out your list, naming off the items as you go. Provide your child with the latest grocery circular, a pair of safety scissors, some glue and a piece of paper. Then, read off your list one item at a time, asking your child to find a picture of that item. Have him cut it out and glue it to his paper. Repeat with as many items on your list as you think he can handle. When he is finished, his pictures should match your written list.

Write the List (Ages 5-9)

Give your child a pencil and a piece of paper. Name off what you need to buy at the store and ask him to write those items down. Younger children are more likely to use inventive spelling, which means you'll need to write your own version of the list, but older children should do pretty well creating a legible grocery list.

Create the List From Recipes (Ages 10+)

To make a grocery list this way, you'll have to already have done some meal planning for the week, with or without your child. Once you know what you'll be cooking, give your child copies of the recipes. Ask him to look around the house to see what you have in stock and determine what you'll need to buy. Then, have him make a grocery list based on his findings.

Activity #2: Estimation

Estimation, too, can be done in many different ways. You can have your child estimate how much a bunch of bananas weighs or how much they will cost based on the weight and price per pound. Or your younger child can estimate how many items you have in the cart. There are also ways to bring estimation into the equation before you even leave your house.

Item Estimation (Ages 7-10)

Give your child a copy of your grocery list. Begin by having him write down an estimation of how much each item will cost. Allow him to take a pencil and his list into the store to write down the real cost of each item to see how close his estimate was.

Total Cost Estimation (Ages 10+)

Using a copy of your list, the grocery circular and any coupons you might be using, ask your child to estimate how much your entire shopping trip will cost. When you're home and all the groceries are put away, provide a copy of the receipt so he can check to see how close he was.

Questions to ask for estimating: How close were your guesses? What items did you estimate better than others? Why do you think you were so close/so far from the correct answer?

Activity #3: Grocery Store Scavenger Hunt

The grocery store scavenger hunt is one of my favorite grocery store learning activities because it can be modified for so many different age and knowledge levels. Here are just a few ways to run your hunt.

Grocery Scavenger Hunt-Colors (Ages 2+)

Challenge your child to find a number of different items that match the colors in a basic 8-pack of crayons (red, blue, yellow, green, orange, black, brown, purple). Older children can be challenged to find more unusual and hard-to-find colors like "magenta" or "vermillion."

Grocery Scavenger Hunt-Shapes (Ages 2+)

Though this type of hunt is geared more toward children who are working on kindergarten readiness skills, it can also be used with older children who are beginning to learn to identify geometric shapes.

Grocery Scavenger Hunt-Food Groups (Ages 6+)

This type of hunt may require some pre-teaching to talk about the different food groups and what to choose to build a healthy meal.﻿﻿ Once your child has a good sense of what foods fall into each group you can bring them to the store with you. It has a section for fruits, vegetables, grains, and protein and asks your child to find, write and/or draw four of each type of food.

Students will learn how to safely handle kitchen items and food

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Since we've talked about teaching kids about making menus and preparing meals, it seems like it's a great time to talk about teaching children about food and kitchen safety. While you probably (hopefully) know all about kitchen safety, there are things that you probably take for granted about what is safe in the kitchen and what is not.

Kids don't start off knowing how to be safe in the kitchen. While they'll know some things from watching you, others are the kinds of things they won't learn until they do it and then you freak out. So, save yourself some freaking out by working on some kitchen safety skills while teaching children how to survive in the kitchen.

Teaching Children about Kitchen and Food Safety: A Lesson in Tens

Things to Teach Children about Food Safety

1. Always wash hands before (and after) food preparation. Not only do you carry germs on your hands, but there can be harmful items that you are preparing.

2. Wash hands during food preparation, especially after handling items like raw meat and eggs. As a general rule, let them know that it's a great idea to wash their hands many times during food prep.

="1″]

3. Don't use the same knives or cutting boards (during the same session of food preparation) for raw meat and for other items, such as fruits and vegetables.

4. Fruits and vegetables should be washed prior to use. This even includes things that you might not expect, such as watermelon. Otherwise, you could drag your knife along the rind, pick up bacteria on the knife, and then slice that into the fruit. Blech!

5. Hot foods should be kept hot, and cold foods should be kept cold. If a food has been sitting out for more than two hours (that is supposed to be hot or cold), you will need to get rid of it.

Teach kids that this is because microorganisms will grow on the food, and could make you sick.

6. When thawing food, it's safest to do it either overnight in the refrigerator or in cold water. That cold water needs to stay cold the whole time, so it may mean the need to change the water.

7. When using knives, always cut away from you. Children have a tendency to try to cut in a way that is very comfortable, which sometimes means they want to cut toward themselves. Teach them all about proper knife holding and usage.

8. When you cook something on the stove top that has a lid, teach children to open the lid away from them. To help them remember, you could have them put their hand far above the steam (with your supervision) to see how hot steam can be. Tell them to imagine how hot that would be much closer and right in their face.

9. Work with your children (of reading age) with recipes. Help them to follow directions carefully, as not following them can sometimes pose a risk to their safety or your family's health.

Of course, as they get older, you can teach them that sometimes, it's not important to follow directions exactly, as some recipes are perfectly okay to change.

10. Teach them that, while baked good doughs may smell amazing, if they have raw eggs in them, it's just not safe to eat them. Instead, tell them that you can work on making some eggless cookie dough to eat raw in place of what they actually wanted to sample.

Things to Teach Children about Kitchen Safety

1. One great starter way for children to help in the kitchen is helping with the dishes. This could be loading and unloading the dishwasher, or even washing or drying dishes. (Young children may really enjoy the "water play" aspect of that.)

You'll need to help children to learn to do these safely, taking special care to work on appropriate water temperature. It will also be important to teach your child what you want them to do about sharp utensils.

In our house, they can help with dishes, but when they first started helping, they weren't allowed to wash or put away things like knives.

2. Never walk away from items that you are cooking on the stove top. Items can easily burn, boil over, or even cause a fire.

3. Don't leave cooking utensils in a pan or pot while you're cooking. If they're plastic, they may melt. If they're metal, they will become way too hot.

4. Even after you are done using a burner on the stove top, it can stay hot for quite some time. Don't touch a burner if you aren't sure about its temperature.

5. Avoid rushing around while you're cooking or baking. It always seems to be those times when kitchen accidents happen.

6. Be sure to show your child where you keep a fire extinguisher in your kitchen and how to use it. (Hang on - if you say, "Um...I don't have one." Then for the sake of your family's safety, go get a small fire extinguisher for your kitchen.)

7. Close cabinet and pantry doors after you are done using them. Hitting your head on a cabinet hurts!

8. Always use a hot pad or oven mitt to remove items from the oven. For young children, this should be a Mom or Dad job. (Make sure they understand this and don't try to do some baking while you're not around.)

9. Speaking of the oven, teach them to make a habit of opening the oven door to make sure it's empty before preheating it. This is especially important with younger children in the house who have figured out how to open the oven. One plastic army man melted in the oven is one too many.

10. This is not one to teach them per se, but for your child's kitchen safety, if they are small, provide them with a non-slip stool or even a special stand, like Kitchen Helper. They will be safer if they are at an appropriate level for helping in the kitchen.

Things to Teach Children about Microwave Safety

1. Never use the microwave when it is empty. At the very least, make sure there is a cup of water inside. (This is good for when you are teaching them about using the microwave.)

2. If the microwave has been damaged, don't use it!

3. Dishes that you use in the microwave must be rated as "microwave safe." Teach your children how to look for this note - either microwave safe or "not safe for microwave use." Talk about the general types of materials that are okay and not okay to use in the microwave, as well as showing them some examples with your own dishes.

4. Don't use anything metal in the microwave. Let children know that this also includes aluminum foil or plates that may look mostly fine but have a metal design on them.

I, personally, have caused lightning-type sparks in a microwave twice. Once was an Arby's wrapper and once was a Christmas themed mug with a "gold" writing of "Jesus is the Reason for the Season." Neither time was enjoyable.

5. If you have used a covering of something like paper towel or wax paper on top of the dish you have microwaved, make sure to lift the covering away from you. The steam could possibly burn you.

6. For items that have been microwaved longer, a potholder or oven mitt may help for taking the dish out of the microwave. You might decide to just tell your child to use an oven mitt or potholder every time they take things out.

7. Food in the microwave doesn't always heat up evenly. Even though one area of food may still be cool, another area can be crazy hot. It's a great idea to stir the food well before assessing its temperature (and before eating it).

8. It's a great idea to cover food items that you microwave with things like paper towel, waxed paper, plastic wrap, or a microwave safe lid/cover. This can help keep the microwave clean, as well as to help with the cooking.

9. Keep your microwave clean! Show your children that if food gets splattered in the microwave, it's a good idea to clean it up right away.

10. Microwaves can be dangerous. Tell children not to use them when they are unsupervised until you feel comfortable that they are ready to use them on their own.

Students will learn a bit about food allergies with children and adults.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When food allergies are involved, navigating meals at home, school, work, and restaurants suddenly becomes much more challenging than simply deciding what you want to eat. People with mild food allergies may not have to be as careful, but those with severe allergic reactions causing anaphylaxis must pay close attention to where their food comes from and how it is prepared in order to avoid a life-threatening situation.

Let's take a closer look at food allergies, what they are, who has them, how to choose allergen-safe foods and snacks, and more.

What are food allergies?

A food allergy occurs when someone has an immune-based reaction to ingesting, or sometimes even simply tasting or smelling, a specific food. This reaction repeats each time the person comes into contact with that food.

A food allergen is the specific component of the food-usually a protein but possibly a chemical additive when talking about processed foods-that causes the immune reaction. Most food allergens will still cause reactions even after cooking or alteration in some way. However, sometimes food processing may remove the food protein causing the allergic response.

Cross-reactivity between allergens can also occur, causing a person to react to another allergen that is similar in structure to the initial allergen. Shellfish and certain tree nuts are a common example of this. ¹

Common food allergy signs and symptoms

The signs and symptoms of a food allergy reaction include:

Anaphylaxis: This is the most severe and dangerous symptom of a food allergy reaction, resulting in airway restriction within minutes of ingestion. This symptom mandates an immediate trip to the emergency room or use of an Epipen.

Vomiting

Acid reflux

Abdominal pain

Diarrhea

Itching in the mouth, tongue or throat

Swelling of the lips or other tissues

Skin rash

Besides anaphylaxis, most of these symptoms are not life-threatening. But repeated reactions may cause more severe consequences over time. ¹

Food allergy vs. intolerance

The basic difference between a food allergy and a food intolerance is that a food allergy involves an immediate or near-immediate immune response, like anaphylaxis or hives. A food intolerance, on the other hand, does not involve an immune-mediated response. For example:

A cow's milk allergy is caused by an immunologic reaction to milk protein.

Lactose intolerance is caused by a person's inability to digest lactose, the sugar found in milk. This is a digestive response rather than an immune response, though it may produce similar symptoms.

In general, food allergies are considered to be a more serious health issue than food intolerances, though their symptoms may overlap. Often food intolerances are mistaken for food allergies, but food allergies are more rare, affecting about 5% of children under 5 years old and 4% of teens and adults.

The growing impact of food allergies

Current scientific research indicates that food allergy prevalence seems to be on the rise. ¹ However, it may affect children and adults a little differently.

Food allergies in children

One in thirteen children in the United States has food allergies, classifying it as a major public health concern. The most prevalent allergens include peanuts, milk, shellfish, and tree nuts. ² It is possible for a child to outgrow a food allergy, and new research has shown that introducing peanuts and peanut products at an early age can prevent allergies from developing in the first place. ³

It is estimated that about 80% of young children with egg and milk allergies will outgrow them by age 16. However, allergies to fish, shellfish, and tree nuts are less likely to go away and may be lifelong. ⁴

There is also now a peanut oral immunotherapy treatment that was approved by the FDA in 2020; however, the treatment presents risks of side effects, including allergic reaction. ⁵

Food allergies in adults

Shellfish is the most common food allergy in adults, but the other common allergens are also prevalent, such as peanuts, food additives, spices, and tree nuts. Unlike children, adults are unlikely to desensitize to an allergen once they have become sensitive to it. ¹

Public health impact of food allergies

Overall, the growing prevalence of food allergies is a burden on the healthcare system, especially for hospital emergency departments that see cases of life-threatening anaphylaxis. Plus, food allergies can be very stressful for families and individuals, trying to ensure zero cross-contamination when eating out or simply preparing everyday allergen-safe meals. ²

Allergen labeling, the FDA, and the 8 major allergens

In 2004, the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act identified eight major allergens:

These eight major allergens account for 90% of all food allergies. These allergens must be identified on food labels as well as the food source from which it derives. Unless the allergen is included in the regular name of the food (like butter milk, for example), it must be identified either in parentheses immediately after the ingredient, for example: lecithin (soy), or in a list using the word "contains" following the full list of ingredients, for example: Contains egg and wheat.

To address potential cross-contamination during manufacturing or packaging processes, consumers may also see "advisory" statements, like "may contain [allergen] or "produced in a facility that also uses [allergen]." However, these statements do not absolve a manufacturer from adhering to good food safety and cleanliness practices.

Ninth major allergen added: sesame

Earlier this year, President Biden signed legislation to make sesame the ninth major food allergen. This law states that all products containing sesame will have to be explicitly labelled in the same manner as the other top eight allergens. Previously, manufacturers were asked to voluntarily label a product when sesame was included as an ingredient. ⁶

Peanut allergy: avoidance or early introduction?

One of the top allergens affecting children and adults is peanut allergy, with its prevalence rapidly increasing over the past decade.

For those affected by this allergy, it seemed that avoidance was the only option available, but then that assumption was flipped on its head. A landmark study in 2015 called Learning Early About Peanut Allergy (LEAP) showed that early introduction of peanuts to infants led to an 81% reduction of developing a peanut allergy, actually modulating the immune response in the early stages of the child's development. 3, 7 The findings of the study were subsequently endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), recommending that children with high risk of peanut allergy be introduced to it in a safe way between 4-6 months of age. ⁸

There is also now a peanut allergy drug called Palforzia that can be used with children ages 4 to 17 to reduce severity or ideally eliminate a peanut allergy. ⁹

Practical tips for handling food allergies

Food allergies can be anything from a mild annoyance to life threatening, so it's important to be vigilant when handling food for someone with food allergies. Here are some tips.

Practice food safety when preparing meals and snacks. Wash all cooking tools with hot, soapy water to thoroughly clean them and consider having separate tools for preparing allergen-friendly foods. Always wash your hands before preparing food. Don't use shared equipment such as grills or griddles to cook allergen-free food. Use separate utensils to serve separate foods and take care not to mix them while serving. Use special plates with either a different shape or color to designate allergen-free foods. ¹⁰

Check all food labels. Some prepackaged foods have major allergens you wouldn't expect. Always read the labels of any packaged foods you purchase. For example, soy sauce contains wheat, Worcestershire sauce contains fish, and chocolate chips often contain milk.

Introduce allergenic foods at a young age. Early introduction to peanuts, between 4-6 months of age can help children's immune systems desensitize and accept the potential allergen. There is less evidence available for other top allergens such as eggs, but early introduction is still advisable. Only introduce one food at a time in an age appropriate form: scrambled eggs, milk, and smooth peanut butter are examples. Unless baby has a reaction to an allergenic food, continue to feed them small amounts of the food on a regular basis as part of a healthy diet. 7, 8

Look out for innovative allergen-free food products on the rise. As allergies have become more prevalent, allergen-free food products are becoming more and more available too. Gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free and other "free" products have been developed so that those with allergies can enjoy the same meals as the rest of the family, enjoy certain foods on special occasions, or simply have the reassurance that their food is safe. These foods can also help put parents' minds at ease that they can send their child to school with an easy and safe snack, whether that child has allergies or not.

Work with a dietitian to manage food allergies safely

Food allergies can be a serious health condition and difficult to navigate. Working with a dietitian and/or qualified nutritionist can help both diagnose and manage food allergies safely. A dietitian can also help pregnant women prevent and manage food allergies in babies through her nutrition during pregnancy, lactation, and baby's diet from 1-3 years old. With children and adults, a dietitian can help individuals and families navigate meal prep, eating out, eating at school, nutrition education, and medical nutrition therapy when needed. ¹¹

Going to the grocery store can be a chore, but it can also offer a number of learning opportunities for children of all ages. Grocery store learning includes using money and budgeting skills, promoting knowledge of food groups, and practicing reading and writing.﻿﻿

Goal of the Activity: To practice math and literacy skills in the real-life environment of the grocery store

Skills Targeted: Food groups, estimation, life skills, early literacy skills

Activity #1: Making a List

Efficient shoppers know what they want before they go into the store and this often means making a list. The way in which your child participates in this activity depends on his age and reading ability. Here are some ideas based on your child's age.

Make a Picture List (Ages 2-4)

Write out your list, naming off the items as you go. Provide your child with the latest grocery circular, a pair of safety scissors, some glue and a piece of paper. Then, read off your list one item at a time, asking your child to find a picture of that item. Have him cut it out and glue it to his paper. Repeat with as many items on your list as you think he can handle. When he is finished, his pictures should match your written list.

Write the List (Ages 5-9)

Give your child a pencil and a piece of paper. Name off what you need to buy at the store and ask him to write those items down. Younger children are more likely to use inventive spelling, which means you'll need to write your own version of the list, but older children should do pretty well creating a legible grocery list.

Create the List From Recipes (Ages 10+)

To make a grocery list this way, you'll have to already have done some meal planning for the week, with or without your child. Once you know what you'll be cooking, give your child copies of the recipes. Ask him to look around the house to see what you have in stock and determine what you'll need to buy. Then, have him make a grocery list based on his findings.

Activity #2: Estimation

Estimation, too, can be done in many different ways. You can have your child estimate how much a bunch of bananas weighs or how much they will cost based on the weight and price per pound. Or your younger child can estimate how many items you have in the cart. There are also ways to bring estimation into the equation before you even leave your house.

Item Estimation (Ages 7-10)

Give your child a copy of your grocery list. Begin by having him write down an estimation of how much each item will cost. Allow him to take a pencil and his list into the store to write down the real cost of each item to see how close his estimate was.

Total Cost Estimation (Ages 10+)

Using a copy of your list, the grocery circular and any coupons you might be using, ask your child to estimate how much your entire shopping trip will cost. When you're home and all the groceries are put away, provide a copy of the receipt so he can check to see how close he was.

Questions to ask for estimating: How close were your guesses? What items did you estimate better than others? Why do you think you were so close/so far from the correct answer?

Activity #3: Grocery Store Scavenger Hunt

The grocery store scavenger hunt is one of my favorite grocery store learning activities because it can be modified for so many different age and knowledge levels. Here are just a few ways to run your hunt.

Grocery Scavenger Hunt-Colors (Ages 2+)

Challenge your child to find a number of different items that match the colors in a basic 8-pack of crayons (red, blue, yellow, green, orange, black, brown, purple). Older children can be challenged to find more unusual and hard-to-find colors like "magenta" or "vermillion."

Grocery Scavenger Hunt-Shapes (Ages 2+)

Though this type of hunt is geared more toward children who are working on kindergarten readiness skills, it can also be used with older children who are beginning to learn to identify geometric shapes.

Grocery Scavenger Hunt-Food Groups (Ages 6+)

This type of hunt may require some pre-teaching to talk about the different food groups and what to choose to build a healthy meal.﻿﻿ Once your child has a good sense of what foods fall into each group you can bring them to the store with you. It has a section for fruits, vegetables, grains, and protein and asks your child to find, write and/or draw four of each type of food.

Food & Cooking Games for Kids: Online Culinary Games for Children

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Since we've talked about teaching kids about making menus and preparing meals, it seems like it's a great time to talk about teaching children about food and kitchen safety. While you probably (hopefully) know all about kitchen safety, there are things that you probably take for granted about what is safe in the kitchen and what is not.

Kids don't start off knowing how to be safe in the kitchen. While they'll know some things from watching you, others are the kinds of things they won't learn until they do it and then you freak out. So, save yourself some freaking out by working on some kitchen safety skills while teaching children how to survive in the kitchen.

Teaching Children about Kitchen and Food Safety: A Lesson in Tens

Things to Teach Children about Food Safety

1. Always wash hands before (and after) food preparation. Not only do you carry germs on your hands, but there can be harmful items that you are preparing.

2. Wash hands during food preparation, especially after handling items like raw meat and eggs. As a general rule, let them know that it's a great idea to wash their hands many times during food prep.

="1″]

3. Don't use the same knives or cutting boards (during the same session of food preparation) for raw meat and for other items, such as fruits and vegetables.

4. Fruits and vegetables should be washed prior to use. This even includes things that you might not expect, such as watermelon. Otherwise, you could drag your knife along the rind, pick up bacteria on the knife, and then slice that into the fruit. Blech!

5. Hot foods should be kept hot, and cold foods should be kept cold. If a food has been sitting out for more than two hours (that is supposed to be hot or cold), you will need to get rid of it.

Teach kids that this is because microorganisms will grow on the food, and could make you sick.

6. When thawing food, it's safest to do it either overnight in the refrigerator or in cold water. That cold water needs to stay cold the whole time, so it may mean the need to change the water.

7. When using knives, always cut away from you. Children have a tendency to try to cut in a way that is very comfortable, which sometimes means they want to cut toward themselves. Teach them all about proper knife holding and usage.

8. When you cook something on the stove top that has a lid, teach children to open the lid away from them. To help them remember, you could have them put their hand far above the steam (with your supervision) to see how hot steam can be. Tell them to imagine how hot that would be much closer and right in their face.

9. Work with your children (of reading age) with recipes. Help them to follow directions carefully, as not following them can sometimes pose a risk to their safety or your family's health.

Of course, as they get older, you can teach them that sometimes, it's not important to follow directions exactly, as some recipes are perfectly okay to change.

10. Teach them that, while baked good doughs may smell amazing, if they have raw eggs in them, it's just not safe to eat them. Instead, tell them that you can work on making some eggless cookie dough to eat raw in place of what they actually wanted to sample.

Things to Teach Children about Kitchen Safety

1. One great starter way for children to help in the kitchen is helping with the dishes. This could be loading and unloading the dishwasher, or even washing or drying dishes. (Young children may really enjoy the "water play" aspect of that.)

You'll need to help children to learn to do these safely, taking special care to work on appropriate water temperature. It will also be important to teach your child what you want them to do about sharp utensils.

In our house, they can help with dishes, but when they first started helping, they weren't allowed to wash or put away things like knives.

2. Never walk away from items that you are cooking on the stove top. Items can easily burn, boil over, or even cause a fire.

3. Don't leave cooking utensils in a pan or pot while you're cooking. If they're plastic, they may melt. If they're metal, they will become way too hot.

4. Even after you are done using a burner on the stove top, it can stay hot for quite some time. Don't touch a burner if you aren't sure about its temperature.

5. Avoid rushing around while you're cooking or baking. It always seems to be those times when kitchen accidents happen.

6. Be sure to show your child where you keep a fire extinguisher in your kitchen and how to use it. (Hang on - if you say, "Um...I don't have one." Then for the sake of your family's safety, go get a small fire extinguisher for your kitchen.)

7. Close cabinet and pantry doors after you are done using them. Hitting your head on a cabinet hurts!

8. Always use a hot pad or oven mitt to remove items from the oven. For young children, this should be a Mom or Dad job. (Make sure they understand this and don't try to do some baking while you're not around.)

9. Speaking of the oven, teach them to make a habit of opening the oven door to make sure it's empty before preheating it. This is especially important with younger children in the house who have figured out how to open the oven. One plastic army man melted in the oven is one too many.

10. This is not one to teach them per se, but for your child's kitchen safety, if they are small, provide them with a non-slip stool or even a special stand, like Kitchen Helper. They will be safer if they are at an appropriate level for helping in the kitchen.

Things to Teach Children about Microwave Safety

1. Never use the microwave when it is empty. At the very least, make sure there is a cup of water inside. (This is good for when you are teaching them about using the microwave.)

2. If the microwave has been damaged, don't use it!

3. Dishes that you use in the microwave must be rated as "microwave safe." Teach your children how to look for this note - either microwave safe or "not safe for microwave use." Talk about the general types of materials that are okay and not okay to use in the microwave, as well as showing them some examples with your own dishes.

4. Don't use anything metal in the microwave. Let children know that this also includes aluminum foil or plates that may look mostly fine but have a metal design on them.

I, personally, have caused lightning-type sparks in a microwave twice. Once was an Arby's wrapper and once was a Christmas themed mug with a "gold" writing of "Jesus is the Reason for the Season." Neither time was enjoyable.

5. If you have used a covering of something like paper towel or wax paper on top of the dish you have microwaved, make sure to lift the covering away from you. The steam could possibly burn you.

6. For items that have been microwaved longer, a potholder or oven mitt may help for taking the dish out of the microwave. You might decide to just tell your child to use an oven mitt or potholder every time they take things out.

7. Food in the microwave doesn't always heat up evenly. Even though one area of food may still be cool, another area can be crazy hot. It's a great idea to stir the food well before assessing its temperature (and before eating it).

8. It's a great idea to cover food items that you microwave with things like paper towel, waxed paper, plastic wrap, or a microwave safe lid/cover. This can help keep the microwave clean, as well as to help with the cooking.

9. Keep your microwave clean! Show your children that if food gets splattered in the microwave, it's a good idea to clean it up right away.

10. Microwaves can be dangerous. Tell children not to use them when they are unsupervised until you feel comfortable that they are ready to use them on their own.

When food allergies are involved, navigating meals at home, school, work, and restaurants suddenly becomes much more challenging than simply deciding what you want to eat. People with mild food allergies may not have to be as careful, but those with severe allergic reactions causing anaphylaxis must pay close attention to where their food comes from and how it is prepared in order to avoid a life-threatening situation.

Let's take a closer look at food allergies, what they are, who has them, how to choose allergen-safe foods and snacks, and more.

What are food allergies?

A food allergy occurs when someone has an immune-based reaction to ingesting, or sometimes even simply tasting or smelling, a specific food. This reaction repeats each time the person comes into contact with that food.

A food allergen is the specific component of the food-usually a protein but possibly a chemical additive when talking about processed foods-that causes the immune reaction. Most food allergens will still cause reactions even after cooking or alteration in some way. However, sometimes food processing may remove the food protein causing the allergic response.

Cross-reactivity between allergens can also occur, causing a person to react to another allergen that is similar in structure to the initial allergen. Shellfish and certain tree nuts are a common example of this. ¹

Common food allergy signs and symptoms

The signs and symptoms of a food allergy reaction include:

Anaphylaxis: This is the most severe and dangerous symptom of a food allergy reaction, resulting in airway restriction within minutes of ingestion. This symptom mandates an immediate trip to the emergency room or use of an Epipen.

Vomiting

Acid reflux

Abdominal pain

Diarrhea

Itching in the mouth, tongue or throat

Swelling of the lips or other tissues

Skin rash

Besides anaphylaxis, most of these symptoms are not life-threatening. But repeated reactions may cause more severe consequences over time. ¹

Food allergy vs. intolerance

The basic difference between a food allergy and a food intolerance is that a food allergy involves an immediate or near-immediate immune response, like anaphylaxis or hives. A food intolerance, on the other hand, does not involve an immune-mediated response. For example:

A cow's milk allergy is caused by an immunologic reaction to milk protein.

Lactose intolerance is caused by a person's inability to digest lactose, the sugar found in milk. This is a digestive response rather than an immune response, though it may produce similar symptoms.

In general, food allergies are considered to be a more serious health issue than food intolerances, though their symptoms may overlap. Often food intolerances are mistaken for food allergies, but food allergies are more rare, affecting about 5% of children under 5 years old and 4% of teens and adults.

The growing impact of food allergies

Current scientific research indicates that food allergy prevalence seems to be on the rise. ¹ However, it may affect children and adults a little differently.

Food allergies in children

One in thirteen children in the United States has food allergies, classifying it as a major public health concern. The most prevalent allergens include peanuts, milk, shellfish, and tree nuts. ² It is possible for a child to outgrow a food allergy, and new research has shown that introducing peanuts and peanut products at an early age can prevent allergies from developing in the first place. ³

It is estimated that about 80% of young children with egg and milk allergies will outgrow them by age 16. However, allergies to fish, shellfish, and tree nuts are less likely to go away and may be lifelong. ⁴

There is also now a peanut oral immunotherapy treatment that was approved by the FDA in 2020; however, the treatment presents risks of side effects, including allergic reaction. ⁵

Food allergies in adults

Shellfish is the most common food allergy in adults, but the other common allergens are also prevalent, such as peanuts, food additives, spices, and tree nuts. Unlike children, adults are unlikely to desensitize to an allergen once they have become sensitive to it. ¹

Public health impact of food allergies

Overall, the growing prevalence of food allergies is a burden on the healthcare system, especially for hospital emergency departments that see cases of life-threatening anaphylaxis. Plus, food allergies can be very stressful for families and individuals, trying to ensure zero cross-contamination when eating out or simply preparing everyday allergen-safe meals. ²

Allergen labeling, the FDA, and the 8 major allergens

In 2004, the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act identified eight major allergens:

These eight major allergens account for 90% of all food allergies. These allergens must be identified on food labels as well as the food source from which it derives. Unless the allergen is included in the regular name of the food (like butter milk, for example), it must be identified either in parentheses immediately after the ingredient, for example: lecithin (soy), or in a list using the word "contains" following the full list of ingredients, for example: Contains egg and wheat.

To address potential cross-contamination during manufacturing or packaging processes, consumers may also see "advisory" statements, like "may contain [allergen] or "produced in a facility that also uses [allergen]." However, these statements do not absolve a manufacturer from adhering to good food safety and cleanliness practices.

Ninth major allergen added: sesame

Earlier this year, President Biden signed legislation to make sesame the ninth major food allergen. This law states that all products containing sesame will have to be explicitly labelled in the same manner as the other top eight allergens. Previously, manufacturers were asked to voluntarily label a product when sesame was included as an ingredient. ⁶

Peanut allergy: avoidance or early introduction?

One of the top allergens affecting children and adults is peanut allergy, with its prevalence rapidly increasing over the past decade.

For those affected by this allergy, it seemed that avoidance was the only option available, but then that assumption was flipped on its head. A landmark study in 2015 called Learning Early About Peanut Allergy (LEAP) showed that early introduction of peanuts to infants led to an 81% reduction of developing a peanut allergy, actually modulating the immune response in the early stages of the child's development. 3, 7 The findings of the study were subsequently endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), recommending that children with high risk of peanut allergy be introduced to it in a safe way between 4-6 months of age. ⁸

There is also now a peanut allergy drug called Palforzia that can be used with children ages 4 to 17 to reduce severity or ideally eliminate a peanut allergy. ⁹

Practical tips for handling food allergies

Food allergies can be anything from a mild annoyance to life threatening, so it's important to be vigilant when handling food for someone with food allergies. Here are some tips.

Practice food safety when preparing meals and snacks. Wash all cooking tools with hot, soapy water to thoroughly clean them and consider having separate tools for preparing allergen-friendly foods. Always wash your hands before preparing food. Don't use shared equipment such as grills or griddles to cook allergen-free food. Use separate utensils to serve separate foods and take care not to mix them while serving. Use special plates with either a different shape or color to designate allergen-free foods. ¹⁰

Check all food labels. Some prepackaged foods have major allergens you wouldn't expect. Always read the labels of any packaged foods you purchase. For example, soy sauce contains wheat, Worcestershire sauce contains fish, and chocolate chips often contain milk.

Introduce allergenic foods at a young age. Early introduction to peanuts, between 4-6 months of age can help children's immune systems desensitize and accept the potential allergen. There is less evidence available for other top allergens such as eggs, but early introduction is still advisable. Only introduce one food at a time in an age appropriate form: scrambled eggs, milk, and smooth peanut butter are examples. Unless baby has a reaction to an allergenic food, continue to feed them small amounts of the food on a regular basis as part of a healthy diet. 7, 8

Look out for innovative allergen-free food products on the rise. As allergies have become more prevalent, allergen-free food products are becoming more and more available too. Gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free and other "free" products have been developed so that those with allergies can enjoy the same meals as the rest of the family, enjoy certain foods on special occasions, or simply have the reassurance that their food is safe. These foods can also help put parents' minds at ease that they can send their child to school with an easy and safe snack, whether that child has allergies or not.

Work with a dietitian to manage food allergies safely

Food allergies can be a serious health condition and difficult to navigate. Working with a dietitian and/or qualified nutritionist can help both diagnose and manage food allergies safely. A dietitian can also help pregnant women prevent and manage food allergies in babies through her nutrition during pregnancy, lactation, and baby's diet from 1-3 years old. With children and adults, a dietitian can help individuals and families navigate meal prep, eating out, eating at school, nutrition education, and medical nutrition therapy when needed. ¹¹

"Research is the process of solving problems and finding facts in an organised way. Research is done by using what is known (if anything), and building on it." -Kiddie.Co.We will be conducting academic research, which includes reading books, journals, websites or even asking professionals to come to a conclusion.

Your notes should focus on key words. They shouldn't be multiple sentences straight from the text, or else you quote it.You should be able to re-produce the information using your own words.

Note Taking

Citations

We need to cite any material where we found information. This is because if someone wants to learn more about what you've said, we can find the source and do our own research from there.We are using someone elses' intellectual property, so we need to give credit to the person who wrote the words we are reproducing.

Putting it Together

After we have created our notes and cited our sources, we can begin putting our skills to work writing a paper. Remember, an essay needs an introduction, at least 2 or 3 paragraphs with the main ideas of what we talk about, and a conclusion.Your beginning should have a hook to grab your readers' attention, and your paragraphs should flow so it makes sense to the reader.

Sometimes we forget what we just read. Sometimes we won't remember the key words later when writing our paper.We take notes so we can remember the information when putting it together.

Why do we take Notes?

We are taking infromation and saving it for when we need it.Make sure you write down the page numbers or where you found it, but you don't need full sentences! Bullet points and jot-down notes are acceptable if you understand it!

Do I re-write the sentences?

Taking notes is for you to be able to see the information again. If taking detailed sentances works, then do it!If typing them out works, then do it!If using abbrivations like 'Tues.' or 'Oct." is easier, then do it!
