Identifying Peanut-Free Products

Finding peanut-free snacks is a challenge, but carefully reading the product label will tell you what products to avoid.

Read the ingredient listing every time you shop. Manufacturing and packaging practices may change without any warning
and a product that was once peanut-free may no longer be.

Steps to take when reading labels:

1. Look for any words on the list that could indicate the presence of peanut:

peanuts mixed nuts ground nuts mandelonas peanut butter beer nuts

peanut oil goober nuts goober peas peanut flour artificial nuts hydolyzed peanut protein

2. Look for the type of vegetable oil that is used. If the vegetable oil is not identified, avoid the product,
as the manufacturer may have used peanut oil.

3. Look for a warning that this product "may contain peanuts or traces of peanuts".

4. Please check and double check all packaging every time you purchase, as ingredients are constantly changing.

5. Please wash and slice all snacks at school, to avoid cross contamination from peanut products in your home.
