Ep 43: The ADINA Act | OTC and RX Medication Legislation with Jennifer Togal | Food Allergy Talk

Lisa Horne of Food Allergy P.I. Season 1 Episode 43

On this episode of Food Allergy Talk, I welcome Jennifer Togal. Jennifer is mom to Adina, the spark behind The ADINA Act, which will require all OTC and RX medications to be labeled with any applicable food allergens and/or gluten ingredients and related information.

Jennifer carries an EpiPen herself and Adina has Celiac disease, a dairy allergy, and they both have EoE. They live in the Minneapolis, Minnesota suburbs.
