Tree Nut Allergy

We are allergic or sensitive to tree nuts, which can include walnuts, pecans, cashews, almonds, macadamias and a variety of other nuts. Many of us are also allergic to peanuts. But that doesn't stop us from living and eating well!

    I have right now a Hershey's bar, the product says "May contain Almonds." I'm not allergic to almonds but other tree nuts, and there are also Hershey's bars that do contain tree nuts I'm allergic to but the original Hershey's bar does not state these tree nuts on the "May contain." Would it be safe for me to eat it?

    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.

    Yummy Earth Assorted Organic Candy Drops

    Yummy Earth candy is such a treat! It is nut-free, peanut-free, corn-free, dairy-free, wheat-free and more (or less depending on how you see things!) It is a rare safe (for peanut allergy) candy treat that I can find at local supermarkets for sons. Very tasty! Their lollipops are good too!
