The FAI Food Lab manufactures, curates, and distributes products that help TIP patients through their treatment regimens. The Food Lab produces easy-to-take and digest gummies containing microdoses of 28 different allergens specifically designed to facilitate dosing and simplify TIP treatment.
Maintaining consistent and accurate food dosing is essential to patient safety and success in TIP treatment, where most dosing occurs at home. By meticulously managing each stage of the production process—from ingredient selection to final packaging—we ensure that every gummy meets our rigorous standards.
Since 2019, our allergen gummies have made dosing easier and more precise, with 28 food protein options in kid-friendly flavors.
In this video, Operations Manager Brandon Dagio will guide you through our innovative facility and showcase how we create safe, effective, and delicious gummies.
In 2024, we’ll custom produce over 2.5 million fun-shaped gummies, each containing precise milligram amounts of allergen to ensure safe, consistent, and effective treatment.
Safety is our top priority, from research to the development of new products. Before any new product is released, prototypes are sent to third-party labs for protein content verification and shelf life testing. Independent testing ensures our products meet FDA standards for safety and effectiveness.
Our focus on safety continues throughout order fulfillment, inspection and patient delivery. Our 3-point quality assurance processes require multiple technicians to inspect each treatment dose. When the doses reach our challenge centers, they are reinspected by clinical staff to guarantee our rigorous standards have been met. This meticulous attention to detail helps ensure that each patient receives precisely what they need to achieve Food Freedom.
5. Allergen gummies are carefully stocked in a temperature-controlled space to ensure optimal quality and efficacy, preserving their texture and allergen content for patient use.
Our Food Lab team is deeply committed to innovation and continuously strives to enhance patient experience and treatment outcomes. While we maintain high standards, we also focus on pioneering new products. Our internal Product Development team actively designs, prototypes, and launches innovative items, including new gummies, remission and maintenance bars, and the upcoming TIP Tarts. This dedication to innovation ensures that the Tolerance Induction Program remains at the forefront of food allergy treatment, consistently improving patient outcomes and experiences.
The gummy doses we provide contain the following ingredients: Water, Granulated Sugar, Beef Gelatin, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Artificial Flavor and Artificial Color.
Gummies should be refrigerated and stored in a cool, dry room away from direct sunlight. When traveling, keep your gummies in a light-tight container, as they are sensitive to light exposure.
Keep your gummies enclosed in their provided packaging until your child is ready to dose. Exposing the gummies to open air will negatively affect the gummies’ texture.
The gelatins are not candy and should be stored out of reach of children. Each gelatin contains proteins that can potentially harm your child if more than the prescribed dose is consumed.
Drinking room-temperature water immediately after chewing gelatin is recommended to ensure the entire dose is swallowed.
The facility, food sources, and machinery we use are FDA regulated, as required by law. Additionally, each batch of gummies undergoes rigorous third-party testing to verify the protein content in every gummy.
