I find it so hard to source nut free products, especially for baking or for desserts ..
Does anyone know of a chocolate spread brand that's nut free?
My daughter is allergic to hazelnuts and just had a terrible reaction from Milk Chocolate Spread Jim Jams 😞.

Not sure but you can make chocolate spread very easily if you cba. A can of condensed milk, 200g chocolate, a tablespoon or so sunflower oil. I worry a lot about cross contamination with products like that.

Cadburys do a chocolate spread without hazelnuts (not sure of any other nuts, we've a hazelnut allergy here too)

Try Health shops/ whole food shops who cater for alot of vegans. I've bought a brand before and cannot recall the name

@swashbucklecheer thanks for the tip! I just saw it's available in Sainsbury's. It does write if "May contain nuts", though literally all brands say that nowadays:(. Do you guys stay away from "May contain" products? I don't know what to do .. I don't know how strict I should be

@Zwicky thank you! I'll probably give it a try. Do you know of a brand of chocolate that's nut-free?

Thankfully "may contain nuts" is ok for us. (I think it's a back covering exercise by manufacturers) it's only if they are specifically listed in the ingredients we avoid. I know kinnertons chocolate do a nut free range (I'd never heard of it before the allergy diagnosis!)
