Hello all,
My son just had a reaction to PB on Saturday, so I am still trying to come to grips with everything.
I am reading labels and removing all products in the house that are listed as possibly containing trace amounts of nuts. However, I've read a post in which a woman stated she also avoided all food that may be cross contaminated even though it isn't listed. My question is: How do you know!!!
Overwhelmed,
Jen
