Ever wondered why some people are allergic to certain foods like nuts or eggs? Join the Food Allergy research team to find out!

You will explore the science of food allergy through interactive games and challenges. Step into the 'Allergy Escape', where a friend has eaten a food they are allergic to.

You will solve clues, spot signs of an allergic reaction, and practise using a training EpiPens in a timed challenge! In the 'Tiny Tummies' challenge, you will explore how much milk babies drink, and how breastmilk supports healthy growth.
