Nut allergy advice?

[RottenTomatoes959]

DS is 3 tomorrow and i want to send in sweets and cake into creche tomorrow for a little party. The trouble is a little boy in his class has a nut allergy and while all the cakes i looked at didnt have nuts,they did say there may be traces and i dont want to risk it. What could i bring in instead?

The little individual bubble sets are popular here. Stickers and coloured pens (anything Smiggle related!) are as well. No allergy risks to worry about then.

As someone with an allergy, i always appreciated a bar of chocolate, (dairy milk is fine, id be dead if it wasn't) or a bag of chocolate buttons

DD has a nut allergy and it's near impossible to fine ready made cakes that are safe (no "may contain" labelling). Don't send in anything labelled as may contain. So long as only nut/peanut allergic Safe things we've found:
Jaffa Cake Bars
Mini bags Maryland cookies
Cadbury buttons
Smarties
Any Kinnerton chocolate- most supermarkets sell their chocolate lolly pops often with Peppa/Thomas/Paw patrol etc on

Dairy milk is listed as may contain Nelly.

A lot of Kinder and Milkybar stuff is ok too. Just double check labels

My DS has a really mild 'allergy' and is fine with trace amounts so we regularly have such products but if I were bringing in a cake I just wouldn't risk it. Go to your local organic shop/health food isle and find something safe, it could be cake or it could be something like biscuits or muffins. It's really good of you to be so mindful of the little boy, I'm sure that his parents would really appreciate it.

As far as I know, it’s important to be careful with chocolate as the risk of contamination with nuts is high. I would only stick with chocolate that is labelled as being safe for nut allergy sufferers.

Haribo are suitable for nut allergy sufferers. There will often be Kinnerton chocolate in the "Free From" section. I think you'll have more luck in Tesco's than a health food shop personally.

Please ring them and ask what their policy is
With a child with a nut allergy they will have a risk assessment that covers this
In my nursery we would not accept home made cakes as there is no ingredients list
We wouldn't accept sweets as part of our healthy eating policy and cakes must be guaranteed nut free and in a sealed box with a list of ingredients and the manufacturers details

There's a company called Just Love Food who supply celebration cakes free of nut traces to supermarkets. You can definitely get them in Sainsburys and I believe they've just started selling them in Asda and Morrisons. www.justlovefoodcompany.com/our-cakes/supermarket/

But if it's inconvenient to buy one at short notice I'm sure one of the above suggestions like Kinnerton, Milky bar or Dairy Milk buttons or Kinder chocolates would be great. As a mum of a 3 year old with a peanut allergy, thank you for your thoughtfulness on this.

It depends on the allergy.
Some people are really severe and will react if someone has had nuts on their hands and touched something, so even the tiniest trace can cause a reaction. Others, like me, can eat something which may contain traces providing there are no actual nuts in the thing.

Thanks everyone. I asked this morning when i dropped him off and for a birthday pretty much anything without nuts is fine. Ive bought a couple of bags of haribo and a bag of milk teeth aswell. Im in ROI so no asda or Sainsbury's or anything.
I may pop to tesco and get little party games instead of a cake.
Id rather not get a cake and then get something different for him just in case he feels left out or accidentally eats a bit.

Choc krispie cakes may not work as some of the cooking chocolates are not guaranteed but free....

See if your Tesco's does these cakes - they are NUT FREE!

Dairy. Milk has a nut warning normally go for galaxy. Mcvitties chocolate digestive or chocolate hobnobs are ok although strangely plain hob nobs have a nut warning.
