The chart below list examples of peanut free manufactured foods and peanut safe fast food places that Bo likes to eat. Bo can eat these foods without having an allergic reaction despite his severe peanut allergy. Of course, Bo also eats fruits & veggies too.
WARNING:Ask About My Peanut Allergy site makes no statement or guarantee that these foods are safe to eat for anyone else with or without peanut allergies. Always read food labels and nutrition information carefully, every time, as manufacturers and restaurants may change ingredients and/or processing techniques. Always introduce new foods to food allergic children in small doses and in controlled situations where proper emergency medical care is available should a food allergy reaction occur.

TIP: Parties are fun again now that I am in the routine of bringing a personal peanut allergy safe cooler.

)Bo's Personal Peanut Allergy Safe Cooler
Perfect for traveling to birthday parties, soccer games, over to a friends, etc. Bo packs his small cooler with peanut allergy safe snacks, drinks, hand cleaners and his emergency medicines which allow us to temporarily control any possible allergic reaction ranging from hives to life-threatening anaphylaxis.
We find that 2 small frozen gel packs will keep everything cool for hours, even in the hot South Louisiana sun.
Typically his cooler has the following items to ensure a peanut allergy safe day:
- Peanut free snacks
- Emergency medicines: Benadryl Children's Perfect Measure Pre-Filled Spoons
- Hand cleaners
my daughter was just diagnosed yesterday with a peanut allergy, this page has been a HUGE help. Thank you!!

Thank you for your blog! I live in Arkansas, and I know that our Children's Hospital is one of the best. As an adult who is just beginning to struggle with food allergies, your blog, and especially your lists, have given me hope that I can manage this more easily than I thought. Keep it up, good luck, and may God bless you!

Watch out for Snyder's of Berlin cheese curls. There is no peanuts listed in the allergy information but up above in the ingredients peanuts are listed. My 6 year old is level 4 allergic to peanuts. Even getting a peanut on his skin with cause him to break out.

Bo...THANK YOU!!! My daughter was just diagnosed at age 4. I am a teacher and see every day in the classroom, but to actually have my child severly allergic to peanuts is another thing. You have a great site here and it has helped me. Good luck! The program you are in sounds wonderful!
