Exactly right #empathy and #kindness should always be at the forefront
When we know better, we do better
So giving @UberEats the benefit of the doubt -they now know better so can do better
Like every other life-threatening disease, #foodallergies are not a joke
We are disappointed Uber Eats wants to use a global ad spot to misrepresent food allergies. It goes against our mission to ensure allergies are taken seriously & our vision for no one to die of allergy. We urge Uber Eats to pull this ad.

โ@UberEats@Uber , your ad mocking food allergies cuts deep, having lost my child to such a tragedy. This is a serious health crisis, not a punchline. We demand respect and urgent change. Letโs prioritize empathy and safety. #FoodAllergyAwareness#SeriousNotFunnyโ
Sad that @UberEats is a food delivery app-
There are NO vacations from life threateing food allergies -
1 error could be fatal -imagine the stress on adult or parent with kid with #foodallergy to be perfect 24/7 why we read labels
NOTHING FUNNY but still so many laughs
Seeing the staff at the @TODAYshow show watching this commercial and thinking itโs funny while the peanut butter portion mocked a very real health threat was sickening! @TODAYshow there is nothing funny about an allergic reaction that could take a life!
The CEO of FARE is urging the entertainment industry to stop using food allergies as a point of humor. A new Super Bowl ad from Uber Eats uses peanut allergy as a joke, and the food allergy community knows it has to stop. #foodallergy#superbowl https://t.co/eO1ipZXkcE
Your throat closes, sensing you are dying during #anaphylaxis NOT funny
My son once pleaded w/ me to remove the arms strangling him during a #peanutallergy reaction
@UberEats - if U "forget" you have a #foodallergy can literally DIE- NO JOKE #SuperBowl

We let @UberEats know that food allergy is no joke and to edit their #Superbowl ad. Reach out to @Uber and tell them that #foodallergy is no laughing matter! Read our letter: https://t.co/BnY32xvKuD
