Peanut-Free Nuts?

My suggestion would be nuts still in the shell, but you still would need a brand, I guess.

Have you tried soybean butter? There are a couple of safe brands of that(trader Joe's and I.M. Healthy). becca

I don't know of a safe brand, but I do know to be sure to read the labels. Some mixed nuts don't have peanuts, but still have peanut oil. One example is the Kirkland brand from Costco--BAD, BAD, very bad!! (I say that in case someone is skimming, I don't want them to think I'm recommending the Costco nuts)

My guess is that your allergist would say no.
My daughter's allergist said that although peanuts are a legume that nuts contain a similar protein that can cause allergy symptoms.
My daughter tested negative on her Rast to nuts and positive to peanuts but has had slight wheezing/coughing episodes after being exposed to walnuts and almonds.
If your allergist does give the ok, then if you are worried about cross contamination I would buy directly from a local grower or farm if that is available to you.
