Food Allergies and the ADAAA: A Deep Dive into Legal Protections

This week on Eating at a Meeting LIVE, I’m thrilled to be joined by Laurel Francoeur, an attorney and fierce advocate for food allergy rights, to dig deep into the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) and a critical new development in the legal world. 🌟

The ADAAA, enacted 16 years ago, was a game-changer for people with disabilities, including those with food allergies and celiac disease. Laurel and I will discuss why this Act was so crucial, the changes it brought, and how it has impacted millions over the past decade and a half.

But that's not all—we’ll also dive into the recent United Airlines lawsuit, in which one of its pilots, who has celiac disease, is suing the airline for not providing him gluten-free meals while working. This case could have significant implications for workplaces everywhere, raising important questions about disability accommodations and food safety in the corporate world.

Laurel’s personal experience as a mother of a child with severe food allergies, combined with her legal expertise, makes her the perfect person to help us understand both the ADAAA’s significance and the potential impact of this lawsuit on workplace policies.

If you care about food allergy rights and disability accommodations or are curious about how these issues could affect your workplace, don’t miss our conversation!
