Having these makes it pretty straightforward, and there should be plenty of options. </p> <p>Lots of packaged crackers will be safe, as is most cheese and yogurt (by brands that don't make almond milk, etc yogurt). Fruit is another safe option. My son has a TN allergy (and other allergies as well), and has reacted before when there were olive pieces in a salad that turned out to be from a deli that also processes TN. Anything from a bakery is a big no b/c of cross-contamination (and usually somewhere on their menu they'll have a line that says they use TN and everything they make could be cross-contaminated). And anything homemade, just not worth the risk. Packaged food it's easy to verify it's safe, or fresh food like fruits that aren't going to be contaminated.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tree-nut-free-snacks#post-2899413 Sat, 12 Oct 2019 19:41:58 +0000 LemonJack 2899413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: Good question. I think I want to go with pre packaged as this is a new troop (kindergarteners) so I’m sure the parents are going to be extra cautious. I would be if I were in their shoes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tree-nut-free-snacks#post-2899412 Sat, 12 Oct 2019 19:14:43 +0000 erinbaderin 2899412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does it have to be packaged, or are you open to making stuff? When we did snacks for soccer I made banana muffins, fruit skewers, Rice Krispie treats, and watermelon slices (not all at once). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tree-nut-free-snacks#post-2899405 Sat, 12 Oct 2019 13:33:04 +0000 LadyDi 2899405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fruit, applesauce pouches, string cheese </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tree-nut-free-snacks#post-2899404 Sat, 12 Oct 2019 13:24:19 +0000 LemonJack 2899404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are bringing snacks for DD’s Girl Scout troop in a couple of weeks, and one of the girls is allergic to tree nuts. What are some safe tree nut free snacks to bring? </p>
