Peanuts and Tree NutsHome >> Peanut Allergy
One of the most serious allergies that is plaguing schools and daycares around the country is the peanut allergy. A peanut is a legume like a pea or lentils. A tree nut is a nut like a walnut, pecan, almond or cashew (a nut that grows on trees). Some people are allergic to both, while others are allergic to one or the other. This food allergy has become deadly to children and the best way to stay in control of this is to be informed. Make sure your child’s caregivers are well aware of this allergy. It is safest to pack your child’s own lunch and make sure if the allergy is severe, that no one in your child’s classroom brings in lunch such as a peanut butter sandwich. There are many schools and daycares throughout the nation that have banned peanut butter and foods that contain peanut butter. One more fact about nuts is that when reading the ingredients in a package, the description can be disguised with something sounding safe-these ingredients are peanut based:
