​Food Allergy Management Tips
for individuals allergic to Peanut

Avoid foods & products that contain PEANUT or any of these ingredients:
   

• artificial nuts 
• beer nuts 
• cold pressed, expeller pressed, or extruded peanut oil    
• goobers
• ground nuts 
• mixed nuts
• monkey nuts 
• nut pieces 
• nut meat    
• peanut butter 
• peanut flour 
• peanut protein
• hydrolysate

 
Peanut is sometimes found in the following:

• African, Asian (especially Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, Thai, and Vietnamese) and Mexican dishes
• baked goods (e.g., pastries, cookies)    
• candy (including chocolate candy)    
• chili
• egg rolls 
• enchilada sauce

• mole sauce   
• nougat

 Please discuss the following information with your board certified allergist:
 

• Mandelonas are peanuts soaked in almond flavoring.
• The  FDA exempts highly refined peanut oil from being labeled as an allergen.
• Studies show that most allergic individuals can safely eat peanut oil that has been highly refined (not cold pressed, expeller pressed, or extruded peanut oil).  Follow your doctor’s advice.
• A study showed that unlike other legumes, there is a strong possibility of cross-reaction between peanuts and lupine.
• Arachis oil is peanut oil.
• Many experts advise patients allergic to peanuts to avoid tree nuts as well.
• Sunflower seeds are often produced on equipment shared with peanuts.
