Peanut-Free Baking

 

Please read all labels.  If a product does not specify that it is nut-free, please do NOT use it.  Some examples of nut-free items that you can use are:

 

UNSAFE FOODS 

* Any product that does not have a list of ingredients

* Imported chocolates and candy – many contain traces of peanuts/nuts but are not labelled accurately

* All Granola Bars except for a few Quaker flavours which say “Peanut-Free” on the front package

* Nutella

* Tim Horton’s donuts and timbits

* Unpackaged products purchased from a bulk food store

* Bakery items

Always read the label to make sure that peanuts/nuts are not listed as an ingredient and the label does not contain a warning such as “may contain traces of peanuts/nuts” below the ingredient list.
