'May contain a trace of almond' ...

[Snowstorm]

Bought a packed of dairy free chocolate drops for party bags of dairy-allergy child. Had been hoping it might also be good for nut/egg-allergy child and was feeling quite smug ... but then saw (too late) that it said 'May contain a trace of almond' ... so I guess that rules them out as an option for a nut-allergy sufferer yes?

Wasn't disputing the nut bit ... was querying the 'may' and 'trace' bit. But I guess you don't gamble with someone else's child's allergy so back to square one for me.

yes it's a tree nut
my ds is allergic to tree nuts

some kids may only be allergic to peanuts but probably avoid all nuts

M&S guarantee nut free I believe...maybe try them?

As a parent of an allergic child I think it's lovely that you are taking the time to check these things I am always really grateful.

Great - will go and have a dig around in M&S. Thank you for the tip!

actually I think M&S have changed their supplier,their stuff now has nut warnings on them

kinnerton chocolate is the only stuff that is guaranteed nut free.
You can buy it in waitrose.

Or just get some other sweets.

Yes - maybe the chewy sweets are okay - but nut-allergy child is also egg-allergy child and I'm not used to checking labels and so am blissfully unaware of what has what in it - obviously will be checking on this occasion though. Will try and find a Waitrose. Thank you.

Kinnerton? We sell the little bars in the local sains I work in. I'll try and have a look tomorrow night for you.

Thanks ilove, that would be brilliant.
