We have an increasing number of students enrolled in Eudora Schools who have food-related allergies to products containing peanuts and/or tree nuts. When severe, these allergies can cause a potentially dangerous, even life-threatening situation for our students. Many of our classrooms are nut free, as a result.
We ask that you always check the labels and look for manufacturer disclaimers on their products, such as “made in a facility that processes peanuts and tree nuts” or “may contain trace amounts of nuts.”
Please avoid snacks that contain peanuts, peanut flour, peanut oil or peanut butter, or other nuts. Please also avoid snacks with tree nuts, which include cashews, pecans, walnuts, almonds, brazil nuts, chestnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pine nuts, and pistachios.
The following brands are usually very well labeled if they contain allergens: Kellogg’s, Keebler, General Mills, Betty Crocker, and Quaker Oats.
Example: CONTAINS PEANUT AND EGG INGREDIENTS
If you have any questions about nut allergies in your child's classroom, please contact your child's teacher or the health office in your child's school. Thank you for your cooperation and partnership to keep everyone safe and healthy at school!
