Oh, its the primary ingredient.” Uber Eats“Were incredibly disappointed by @UberEats use of life-threatening food allergies as humor in its Super Bowl ad,” the non-profit group Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) wrote on X. “The suffering of 33M+ Americans with this condition is no joke. Life-threatening food allergy is a disease, not a diet. Enough is enough.
Dr. Sung Poblete, CEO of FARE, said Friday that she had spoken with Uber, which had made a change to the ad that will air to the Super Bowls wide audience by editing out the reference to the peanut allergy.
The Post reached out to Uber reps for comment.

Courtesy of Uber Eats/MEGAThe new ad, which was shared by the ride-sharing company on Sunday, now shows a man who has forgotten how to “have a seat.”
Nevertheless, the original ad still exists at an unlisted link on YouTube.
It does include a pseudo-disclaimer stating: Please please please do not forget there are peanuts in peanut butter.
For some, updating the ad was not enough.
“You had a really great commercial til the peanut allergy guy,” slammed one X user in a now-deleted post.
“Food allergies aren’t funny, and they’re definitely not forgettable,” a second seethed. “When you joke about allergies you teach the public it’s ok to not take them seriously, and that can have deadly consequences.”
“Trust me we dont forget we have life-threatening food allergies, we deal with it daily,” a third person added. “Take it seriously please stop playing around with our lives not funny.”
