Traveling Nut Free (Whether You're Allergic Or Not)
Just the other day, I was on Jet Blue and asked not to eat any foods with nuts in it.
They even took around a trash bag (on the plane) so individuals could dispose of this food before the allergic individual could boarded the plane.
Unfortunately, I happened to be carrying a bag of trail mix. I didn't throw it away, because it wasn't open, but I was a little miffed that I wasn't warned in advance (as I would have brought a snack that was nut free to enjoy).
What could airlines do better to accommodate those with severe allergies while adequately warning those of us who don't have sensitivities?

Does anyone know of any peanut-free, tree-nut free (from the source!) ice cream (made from milk) available in U.S. supermarkets or food stores? I have been looking for a year and a half and have concluded there isn't any in the U.S!

Cherrybrook Kitchen Yellow Cake Mix
Whenever going to my cousin's house, who has multiple food allergies, her mom makes this cake and I honestly can't tell the difference between this and other bakery cakes. It's such a great option for everyone to enjoy!

Cake Mate Green Crystal Decors
These sprinkles are great for my family for 2 big reasons: easy to find at the supermarket and they are made on peanut-free, nut-free equipment separate from the machine that makes the Marble Mix-Ins (which do have some peanut). Great for peanut allergy, tree nut allergy, and people without allergies!

Amy's Mattar Tofu
I just tried Amy's Indian Mattar Tofu for the first time and thought it was great. I usually make my own lunch so a frozen meal is something of a treat for me. The flavor was good and it was a perfect size for me. The portion may be small for many people, however!
The box for this meal says non-dairy, gluten-free, and Kosher Pareve. In addition, last time I checked, Amy's does not use any peanuts in any of their foods. This meal does not contain tree nuts either. It may be a good meal option for peanut-allergic and or tree nut-allergic individuals. I recall that Amy's does use tree nuts in other items, so there may be a chance of cross-contamination on the tree nuts--call Amy's to check if this is a concern for you. Also, no GMO's BTW.
