When you have a family member with food allergies, sharing cups or other items is more than just potentially germ-inducing--it can trigger accidental allergic reactions. What if there was a product that could help you identify each family member's personal items to cut down on accidental exposures and cross-contact? Wouldn't color-coded labels come in handy here? However, labels you find at office supply stores fade immediately and can't stand up to dishwasher usage.

That's why I'm so happy to tell you about color-coded labels especially designed for this very important purpose. Elizabeth Goldenberg of Onespot Allergy is the mother of a child with severe peanut and tree nut allergies, and she knows firsthand how important it is to keep an allergic person's items separate--and safe. To help identify items at home, she created convenient, color-coded food allergy labels (pictured above). These handy labels can be used on everything: plates, glasses, a lunch kit, water bottles and more items that need to be identified for the food allergic person's use only.

Most labels and inks are made from toxic or carcinogenic materials. Onespot Allergy food allergy labels are non-toxic. The labels are designed to be fade-proof and will stay on your items, even when placed in the dishwasher. Plus, they can be peeled off items without leaving any residue, a huge bonus for the busy mom.

Elizabeth suggests choosing a color for each family member so that everyone knows what belongs to them and to eliminate potentially dangerous mix-ups.

In addition to food allergy labels, Onespot Allergy also offers back-to-school items such as EpiPen belts so that your child can wear their life-saving EpiPens at all times.
