The FATE Forum
F.A.T.E is a non-profit organization dedicated to training and educating individuals on life-saving practices in situations relating to food borne allergies. As a definitive source for this training, F.A.T.E is transforming into the preeminent platform for food allergy education for all industries.
Although our organization was founded on the happenings of a tragedy, it became apparent to us that there wasn’t enough knowledge to protect those with allergies, and not enough preparation for the people around those with allergies.
So, here we are. Call it FATE.

Press Play - FATE: A Special Independent Report
Just a little over a week after I started a dialogue with The Lead Representative for Food Safety at Whole Foods Global Headquarters, a week later, it came to my attention that changes have been made. While I commend Whole Foods for their quick actions, I’m frustrated it took a fatality for changes to be made - the work doesn't stop here.

This September 12th newscast from CTV News allowed our voices to be amplified.
