Kraft Kraft Protection for Peanuts: Get Reimbursed For Your EpiPen/Epinephrine Injector Out-of-Pocket Costs Protection for Peanuts
get this dealKraft Peanut Butter has launched a program to help Canadians offset the cost of epinephrine injectors (like EpiPens). Called Protection for Peanuts, they're aiming to make epinephrine auto-injector cost the same as a jar of peanut butter. (Less than 50% of Canadians with food allergies have easy, affordable access to epinephrine auto-injectors.)
To help Canadians with epinephrine auto-injector costs, they've launched an online reimbursement form. You'll have to provide details like your name, address and the amount you paid out-of-pocket for your epinephrine injectors. You will also need to provide a receipt. There is a limit of one reimbursement submission per person.
You can read more about the program here, and you can access the online reimbursement form here.

The cost of epipens has increased dramatically in the past couple of years. They are used for many anaphylactic reactions, not just peanut allergies. Good on Kraft for offering this program.
Is what they're doing altruistic? I doubt it as I'm sure this is being done to generate positive publicity, but you if someone offers you free epinephrine pens are you going to say no?
They are going to sell peanut butter - that we can't eat - no matter what. They are going to spend money to advertise no matter what. Why not support advertising that actually can help people.
It's real money - we have good insurance but it only covers 80%.
Or maybe an exchange program between people amd ambulance services where they collect your near expired products for use, as they'd be using it more often.
Alas, i live in some hopeful world of exchanges...
Go be a Karen somewhere else instead of being an idiot here. Good on the OP for this and much appreciated.

So instead of KRAFT having proper manufacturing protocols so that peanuts do not appear where there are not supposed to, they will give up a free Epiphen. And some here are delighted!

What you can do, is bring all your expired medication to the drug store so they can dispose of it properly and safely. Most people toss it in the trash which is the worst thing because that ends up in the water supply.

I always wondered why can't there be a trade in system where you give back the expired one for some money. The injector itself doesn't break automatically! Only the drug expires. It'll avoid plastic waste as well.
