## Resource

Have you ever wondered why packaged foods are required to label known allergens, but prescription drugs and medicines aren’t? In this episode of At the Table , Channon sits down with the Togal family as they share their story, insights, and glimmers of hope for the future of medical safety. Meet Adina, the 15-year-old behind The ADINA Act: a bill that will require the FDA to label allergens on prescription drugs. After a deeply frightening experience with their teen, parents Jen and Seth sought out answers and found themselves with only more questions. The Minnesota-based family decided to take action and seek congressional help to ensure what happened to Adina wouldn’t happen to any other person in the country.
