What is a Top 8 Free Snack?
An allergen free or allergy free snack is a food that does not contain any of the eight most common allergens: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts (walnuts and pecans), soybeans, wheat, shellfish and fish. These are often referred to as “top 8” allergens because they account for 90% of all food allergies in children under age 3.
Always Double Check Ingredients
Itās important to do your homework. Ingredients and manufacturing practices can change at any time, so although they may be listed as allergy safe snacks here be sure to read the label or check-in with the manufacturer before consuming.
And if youāre shopping for snacks ideas for a child with a food allergy besides your own, always be sure to check-in with their parent to determine what snacks are safe for them. Spoiler alert- we each have our own comfort level in regard to what is considered safe for our child and their individual allergies!
