Date:5/27/2008

FAIRFAX, Va., May 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) will hold its 15th annual Food Allergy Conference in Tarrytown, N.Y., on May 31, 2008. Many families struggle with how best to manage food allergies in their lives. Whether attendees have been living with food allergies for years or are dealing with a new diagnosis, this conference will help.
