PAFA is funded by the Food Standards Agency, a government department that makes sure food is safe and what it says it is.<\/p>\n
The project is a partnership between the Universities of Manchester, Southampton and Amsterdam University Medical Centre, with NHS partners in Manchester, Southampton and the Isle of Wight.<\/p>\n

allergies and intolerance among adults have changed since the early 1990s.<\/p>\n Carrying out this study will help us to update our data and find ways to make food allergy policies and treatments
