🎧Culinary Confidential with Christina Cates – Sunday, July 6 at 9PM on AM 970: The Answer
This week, Culinary Confidential serves up an insightful conversation on the rising prevalence of food allergies and how it’s reshaping what—and how—we eat.
Did you know that over 33 million Americans live with food allergies -- including 1 in every 13 children? With two kids in every classroom at risk, understanding allergies isn’t just helpful, it’s vital.
