Parents: If your child has a diagnosed milk and/or egg allergy and has successfully completed a baked challenge, take the short survey.
The results will help to ensure meaningful tools and resources are created to help support families in keeping baked egg/milk in the diet, which ultimately can lead to a faster resolution of egg and milk allergies in children.
