"There are myriad reasons to send your kid to school with allergy-friendly snacks. The most obvious one is that your child might have an allergy themselves. But it's also worth thinking about the other kids at the lunch table. Indeed, the USDA estimates that one in every 13 children suffers from food allergies, which is why some schools have gone completely nut-free."
"This doesn't mean that your kid will need to give up everything delicious, however. In fact, this is far from the truth, especially now that so many allergy-friendly brands sell snacks geared toward children. Your kid can still get all the nutrients they need while munching on foods like crackers, fresh produce, and sunflower seed butter. In this article, we'll suggest a variety of allergy-friendly back-to-school snacks that are frequently a hit among children."
One in 13 children has food allergies, prompting some schools to adopt nut-free policies and encouraging parents to pack allergy-friendly snacks. Lunchboxes should avoid the 'Big Nine' allergens: milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, shellfish, soybeans, wheat, and sesame. Plenty of allergy-friendly brands offer child-focused snacks, enabling kids to receive necessary nutrients while enjoying crackers, fresh produce, and sunflower seed butter. Both packaged options and homemade recipes can fit in lunchboxes or serve as after-school snacks. Children's tastes vary, so try different foods when some items are rejected. Rice cakes make versatile vehicles for many allergen-free toppings.
