Once in a while I view how people found this blog. The most common way people have found this it is by googling "Peanut free snacks" or something similar. I have not had a comprehensive list for them to view and feel bad.
When you are first diagnosed (as I'm sure many of these viewers are), you think there are so many things you child cannot eat. While this is true, once you settle into a routine with a peanut allergy, you actually find there are a ton of things they can eat.
Ice Cream & Frozen Treats
Breyer's (simple flavors like chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry)
Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream (double check these labels because some are processed with peanuts -Tyler likes "Cherry Garcia")
Flavor Ice popsicles
Cookies
Oreo (Nabisco)
Lorna Doone (Nabisco)
Rice Crispy Treats (plain variety)
Vanilla Wafers (Great Value Brand)
Crackers
Graham crackers (Keebler, Honey Maid or Great Value brand)
Gold Fish (Cheese flavored)
Ritz (plain)
Candy
Skittles
Starburst
Jelly Beans (Gimbal's or Starburst brand)
Dum-dum's
Twizzlers
Laffy Taffy
Fruit Snacks (Kellog's)
Other Snacks
Air-popped popcorn (plain or with butter)
Fresh fruits and vegetables (obviously the best choice for any snack!!)
Pop-Tarts (Kellog's or Great Value brand)
Yogurt (Breyer's or Yoplait's fruit-flavored children's variety)
Fruit Snacks (Kellog's brand)
Chips
Doritos's (all varieties I have found are safe)
Pringles (all varieties I have found are safe)
Cheetos
Lay's or Great Value Potato Chips (all varieties I have found are safe)
Rold Gold Pretzels
Cereal
Cheerios
Frosted Mini Wheats (Kellog's or Malt o Meal brand)
Raisin Bran (Post brand)
You may have noticed that I use the "Great Value" brand a lot. That is Wal-Mart's generic brand and they have excellent labeling. Many things that not safe for PA but those that are a great in taste and price! I love generics when they are safe.
Always, always double check labels. Many foods are made in different facilities around the country under different conditions.
These are the foods that fit into our comfort zone. We try to have a pretty tight comfort zone. I know that not everyone will agree for a variety of reasons but I think having some sort of list for those new to PA is important.
