Allergy-free treats ideal for back-to-school, excluding the top nine common allergens
In a significant development for families with food-sensitive children, five allergen-free snacks are now available on Amazon. These treats, free of the nine major allergens as named by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), are a welcome addition to the market.
The FDA has identified milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame as the nine major allergens that must be noted on food labels. For parents of the one in thirteen children in the US who have life-threatening food allergies, this can make finding suitable snacks a challenge.
These new allergen-free snacks come in a variety of flavours and types. For those with a sweet tooth, there are vanilla and birthday cake options. For those seeking a protein-rich snack, each stick contains 8g of protein and comes in chicken, jalapeno, and classic beef jerky varieties. It's important to note that while these snacks are generally vegan, some flavours of the allergy-friendly potato chip brand and the cheese balls do contain dairy.
The manufacturers of these allergen-free snacks include FRECHE FREUNDE, Alete, Fleur Alpine, and pumpkin organics. Customers are advised to check the company's FAQs for details regarding specific dairy-containing flavors.
It's not just allergy-prone families who can benefit from these snacks. With 4g of sugar per serving and low in allergens, these treats are a healthier option for all.
In addition to these snacks, YumEarth offers a range of allergy-friendly treats, including suckers, jellies, licorice, sour sweets, and chewy options. As more campuses, from pre-K to postgrad, go nut-free or allergy-free, finding suitable snacks for food-sensitive kids, even if they do not have allergies, becomes increasingly important.
Food Allergy Research and Education reports that 1 in 10 people in the US has a food allergy. With the growing demand for allergy-friendly snacks, it's clear that companies are responding to this need, making it easier than ever to find suitable options for everyone.
