Food Allergy
Food Allergy: An unpleasant or dangerous immune system reaction after a certain food is eaten.
Yellow, orange, and red-orange were chosen to represent the range in severity of allergic reactions caused by food allergies. Teal was chosen as it is the color of food allergy awareness. White was chosen to symbolize always having to be hyper vigilant of what you are eating when you have a food allergy.
The symbol is an IgE antibody, the antibody that is overproduced to cause the most common allergic reactions. The prongs of the antibody in this symbol have a spoon and fork at their ends to symbolize food allergies specifically.
The shape in the middle is intended to represent a rounded square plate. If you would like to make a flag for your specific food allergy using this flag as a template you can remove the symbol in the center and put a symbol of your food of choice on the plate.
Here is the food allergy symbol by itself as a png:
