A lot of items Im not allergic to but so many are processed in nut factories that im not able to have them. Im constantly checking labels.

Thank you so much for putting all of this together. I’m wondering if it’s possible in the future to make a list of cake cookies snack that are almond hazelnut free. I’m allergic to those ingredients. And I also can’t use items produced in a facility that processes these nuts which includes tons of items. A lot of snacks including bakery items candy and chocolates and most cereals. So I can’t use quite a few recipes in the list. Like if I want to make rice crispy treats I can’t. There’s no substitute for rice crispies.

Thank you for your comment! We do have a variety of nut-free recipes, which you can check out here: Recipes. Additionally, we have a roundup of allergen- friendly recipes here: Allergy-Friendly Mishloach Manot.
You can also use our filter option to narrow down recipes by specific allergens. Just search for a recipe, like hamantaschen, or a category, like desserts, and filter for your needs.

For prepackaged snacks, it would need manual checking. However, I’ll pass along your idea for us to create an allergen-friendly snacks list in the future. I hope these resources help!
