Food Allergy Action Month is observed in May. Food Allergy Action Month aids those who suffer from food allergies by creating awareness among the general public about food allergies. It also reduces the number of deaths caused by food allergies by raising awareness.

Food Allergy Action Month encourages people to understand the suffering of those who have some level of food allergy and reduce bullying of food-allergic people. It also educates patients about the indications and symptoms of food allergies and the proper way to deal with them by providing basic training to family and friends of those who suffer from food allergies. That way, first aid can be readily provided.
