Nut Free Snack List Below are some snack ideas for nut free foods that have not been manufactured in a facility that processes peanuts. This list may change as manufacturers might change ingredients or the facility where the product is made, so it is still important to read labels. Please read the labels of every product even if the product is from the same company as a known safe product. For example, the Hershey bar as a single bar is usually safe, however the 8-pack of Hershey bars is manufactured at a different factory in a processing line that processes peanut candies. This is not a complete list, just some examples found so far. If you have any other ideas you would like to see added to the list, please contact the room parent coordinator, Jackie Ekenberg at [email protected].
