[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 75030, member: 439"] My son packed his lunch every day (thank goodness HE was NOT allergic to peanuts - he's eaten a PNB and jelly sandwich every day for lunch since he was a year old!). I also supplied the teacher(s) with treats and snacks for him at the beginning of the school year. However, there was also a child allergic to nuts in his class, and after 2nd grade, it became habit for all the parents (the kids were actually the ones that insiste) to call me and the other child's parent so they could bring in "safe" treats for NF and J. I believe it was in 1st grade, the kids got to go to the quick mart next to the school for an ice cream reward for reading. It was a very hot day, and NF asked for a "slushy" (fruit, ice drink) because of his milk allergy. Then ALL the kids decided they would rather have a slushy than ice cream - it actually saved the teacher money!!! Food dyes are going to be tricky - if I'm not mistaken, the Feingold (sp?) diet is a good one for these. Not only will you need to look for terms such as "FD&C #" whatever in ingredients list, but words such as "tartazine" (that's yellow dye). Watch processed meats, like deli meats. Not only do a lot of them have dairy (the way to avoid THAT is to make sure they are kosher - meat and milk cannot be together in kosher), but they often have dye in them. [/QUOTE]
