Yesterday, families, researchers, clinicians, volunteers and supporters came together for our Family Fun Day, presented by the Canadian FAIT Foundation and Daiya Foods. For many families, one of the most meaningful parts of the day was simply meeting others who understood their journey. Food allergy treatment can be life-changing, but the path to get there can also be long and unfamiliar. Families shared how special it was to meet other parents, watch their children play toge

Dr. Soller was recently interviewed on "The Allergy Anxiety Podcast" with Dr. Amanda Whitehouse. Listen to their discussion about the food allergy research that Dr. Soller is doing and how treatments like oral immunotherapy (OIT) can positively impact anxiety and quality of life. This was a very enlightening discussion. We hope you enjoy it.

Isabella Babicki-Moore lives with severe anaphylactic allergies to nearly all nuts, along with kiwi and mango — the kind of allergies that bring a serious risk to every school lunch, every restaurant menu, every birthday party and family celebration. That lived experience is part of what drew the third-year McGill University physiology and psychology student to (successfully!) apply to spend her summer digging into the long-term outcomes of Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) for childr

The Canadian Food Allergy Immunotherapy (FAIT) Foundation is thrilled to welcome Kendra Wang as one of our summer research students for 2026.

At the Canadian FAIT Foundation, we understand the daily lives of families living with food allergies - where every meal, every social gathering, and every school day comes with an added layer of vigilance, risk, and fear. But this daily reality is not well-understood by individuals who aren't directly impacted by food alleriges. In order to gain momentum in our Foundation, awareness is key. That's why we are thrilled to share a few important updates that are helping move th

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what has been a truly meaningful year for the Canadian FAIT Foundation. This was our first full year as a registered charitable foundation, and what a year it has been. From growing our community to expanding education and advocacy around food allergy immunotherapy, 2025 marked a significant step forward in turning our vision into impact. In September, we hosted our inaugural FAIT Symposium in Vancouver - a first-o

In April 2024, the Canadian FAIT Foundation was born out of both urgency and hope. For families living with food allergies, the daily reality is one of constant vigilance—reading labels, navigating schools and social events, and living with the ever-present risk of a severe reaction. At the same time, a powerful shift has been underway in medicine: food allergy immunotherapy is changing what it means to live with food allergies. Treatments that once felt out of reach are now

Wesley Mah, Summer Student Research Grant Recipient When the Canadian Food Allergy Immunotherapy (FAIT) Foundation launched its first-ever summer student research grant, it couldn’t have found a better match than Wesley Mah. Wesley recently wrapped up his second year at the University of British Columbia, where he’s pursuing an Integrated Science Major with a keen interest in immunology and environmental science—two fields especially relevant to those living with allergies. H

For decades, living with a food allergy meant one thing above all else: avoidance. Families were told to read every label, avoid restaurants and birthday parties, and always carry emergency medication. While these precautions are still important, they place a heavy burden on daily life. Food allergies don’t take a day off, and neither do the families managing them. But slowly, the story is changing. A New Chapter in Food Allergy Care Thanks to advances in research and clinica
