FAAN

Ming is proud to be a national spokesperson for the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network.

As the father of a child with food allergies and the chef-owner of Blue Ginger, Ming is aware of the seriousness of food allergies from a variety of perspectives. Through his work with FAAN and at Blue Ginger, he has brought about change in Massachusetts in the form of a new food allergy safety law. Ming hopes to bring that level of awareness and change to the entire US.

FAAN has developed a guide called "Welcoming Guests" that offers practical tips and protocol for diners and restaurant workers.

"The updated and revised 'Welcoming Guests' guide is an absolute must-have for restaurants and consumers. It manages to be comprehensive while staying user-friendly. Everyone in the food service industry should read this guide - it could save a life" -- Ming
