Every week is Food Allergy Awareness Week at Van's

Posted on May 11, 2010 bySarah, Senior Brand Manager

May 9-15th is Food Allergy Awareness Week. Please join Van's in helping to raise awareness for individuals with food allergies.

About 12 million Americans suffer from food allergies. Eight foods - milk, egg, peanut, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, wheat, and soy - account for 90% of all food-allergic reactions.

Van's is pleased to offer products for our customers who suffer from food allergies. Our wheat / gluten free waffles are free of gluten, dairy and egg. We test every batch of our wheat / gluten free waffles to ensure they are free of claimed allergens. And, if we do say so ourselves, while we leave a lot of stuff out, we manage to pack a lot of taste in. So grab your favorite Van’s waffles and some maple syrup and join us in raising awareness during Food Allergy Awareness Week. And if you have a great tip for coping with food allergies, please share it with everyone in the comments below.

Van's IT Test

Hello Sarah, I am a long time consumer of your products. I have previously left a message for your company, but no one ever returned my concern. I have just called your company and left a message, since no one answered. I am appreciative of your gluten free products, and enjoy them very much. I buy them every week for years now. HERES THE THING, THE PACKAGING INSIDE IS AWFUL!! It tears completely so that I have to always transfer your product to another zip baggie so they dont get freezer burn. It does not matter if I cut open the pkg, straight across with scissors (instead of tearing open) the plastic tears and it is very frustrating. Why the cheap inner bag???? your products are special, and not cheap, we should keep them special and easy to use for all people by utilizing another means of packaging. Why not think of another means of a more environmentally freindly, durable, option?? Im getting tired of my inner pkg's ripping week after week. Plus, i can recylcle your outer pkg.
