The "Good food for all" project is looking for persons with food allergies and food hypersensitivity to contribute to the national centre that is being built up​​​

Do you have physician-diagnosed food allergy or food hypersensitivity and would like to get involved in supporting the national centre of excellence "Good food for all" (Bra mat för alla)?

"Good food for all" is now looking for persons to include in a reference group of patients with food allergy and food hypersensitivity. Participation in this group will mean you will be asked for your input and advice during the course of the project, and to participate in meetings, workshops and surveys.

The main goal of "Good food for all" is to create a transdisciplinary, multisectorial, national centre of excellence for food allergy and other hypersensitivity to food in Sweden.

Register your interest at the latest 10th February
