Our Story
Jen and Greg Herskowitz
The Allergy-Free Shop was founded by Jennifer Herskowitz in 2007. Jennifer, an asthmatic with a few atypical food allergies, is also the mother of three children – two of whom suffer from multiple food and environmental allergies. Her frustration with the overall lack of conveniently available allergy-free products for herself and her children inspired her to open a store where customers could find EVERYTHING they needed in one place.
The Allergy-Free Shop offers a wide variety of allergy-friendly and gluten-free food products dedicated to meeting the needs of the allergic individuals and those with other dietary restrictions, as well as products for environmental allergies and MUCH more including:
- Grocery and food items, shelved, frozen and refrigerated.
- Bath and body products such as shampoos, soaps, etc.
- Baby needs such as diapers, ointments, etc.
- Household cleaning products such as laundry detergent, dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, etc.
- Pillow and mattress encasings, HEPA filters, air purifiers, HEPA vacuums, etc.
- Resource materials such as allergy-free cookbooks, books about living with allergies, etc.
- Allergy ALERT products such as clothing, bracelets, etc.
- Information on allergies for caregivers, schools, etc.
