Congress must declare corn an official allergen before corn/corn derivatives are subject to FDA labeling guidelines. Since there is an emerging corn allergy crisis, with potentially life-threatening consequences; I am devoting this blog to advocate for the corn allergy community, and to provide resources to help them navigate this difficult journey. Please join me in demanding that Congress declare corn an official allergen. Thank you! @CornAllergy911
