Want to advertise with us? marc @ eatnutfree.comFood allergies: fact or fad?
As a father of a food-allergic child I know that this FACT is not a FAD.
This article has good insight and urges us all to think rationally when others around us are doubting our family’s health concerns.
A new British study on nut-allergy sufferers found that “parents are routinely made to feel by friends and even family that their child’s nut allergy is a ‘frivolous and self indulgent fad invented and maintained by attention-seeking people.’”

Even companies with the right intentions are taking the crossed-out peanut to mean they can include nuts in thier ingredients.Be vigilant when reading labels!
A registered nurse is sounding the nut allergy alarm over potentially confusing allergy labels on packaged foods.
While the red circle with a line through it is an internationally recognized symbol for ‘no,’ the symbol with a line through a peanut doesn’t necessarily mean no nuts.
Rob Cimaglia, who has a severe allergy to tree nuts, was shocked to discover that a package of granola bars he purchased at IGA had the no-nut symbol on the front, but contained almonds in the ingredient list
