## Notice

The FSA is seeking to commission research with a view to quantify and monetise the financial burden imposed on FH sufferers through their day-to-day management of the physical risks associated with food allergies, food intolerance and coeliac disease. Specific project objectives are to: 1) Examine, analyse and compare consumption trends of FH sufferers on restricted diets relative to that of non-sufferers on unrestricted diets; subsequently evaluating and reporting on the price differential between them. 2) Map out and monetise the associated financial (direct and indirect) costs FH sufferers are likely to incur, such as purchasing specific kitchen utensils, travelling longer distances to access specific products, purchase of EpiPen etc.
