TREE NUT Allergy
Tree Nut Allergy Diet
Avoid All Sources of Tree Nuts
If your child has a tree nut allergy, he or she must avoid all sources of tree nut protein. Read labels on food products carefully. Tree nuts have been used in many foods including barbecue sauce, cereals, crackers, and ice cream. Also, Hacky Sacks (kick sacks), bean bags, and draft dodgers are sometimes filled with crushed nut shells. Be careful when purchasing and using these items.
Nutmeg is safe to eat. Nutmeg comes from the seeds of a tropical tree. Coconut is also usually safe to eat. A coconut is actually the seed of a fruit. Some people have reacted to coconut. Discuss eating coconut with your health care provider before introducing coconut to your child's diet.
Tree nuts can cause severe allergic reactions. If your doctor has prescribed epinephrine, be sure that your child has it available at all times.
Read Food Labels
Knowing how to read a food label will help you avoid problems caused by nuts in foods.
Avoid foods that contain tree nuts or any of these ingredients:
----------------------------------------------------------
almonds natural nut extract
artificial nuts (such as almond, walnut)
Brazil nuts nut meal
caponata nut meat
cashews nut oil
chestnuts nut paste (such as,
filbert/hazelnuts almond paste)
gianduja (a nut mixture nut pieces
in some chocolate) pecans (Mashuga Nuts)
hickory nuts pesto
macadamia nuts pine nuts (indian nuts, pinon
mandelonas nuts, pignoli nuts, pignon
marzipan/almond paste nuts, pigñolia nuts)
nan-gai nuts pistachios
nougat pralines
nut butters (such as, walnuts
cashew butter)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Artificial nuts can be peanuts that have been deflavored and reflavored with a nut, such as pecan or walnut.
Mortadella may contain pistachios.
Natural and artificial flavoring may contain tree nuts.
Experts advise people allergic to any tree nut to avoid all tree nuts as well as peanuts.
Use Tree Nut Substitutes
Children who are allergic to tree nuts, which grow on trees, are sometimes not allergic to peanuts, which grow underground. Check with your doctor first to be sure your child can safely eat peanuts. You may be able to use peanuts as a substitute for nuts in baked goods and other foods.

For info, having worked in the bread industry, some flour improvers contain soy, milk and or egg (but most commonly soy). These should all be listed if used in UK breads as it's a legal requirement but be aware that even in breads where it's not listed, they're likely to be using them in the same bakery even if not in that recipe.

Hi all, just for information for UK and EU readers. If you're not aware, food legislation is changing. It will mean that instead of a "contains allergens" (or similar) panel on most food, allergenic ingredients will be picked out in bold in the ingredients and in brackets it will say what the allergen is. It will make for more consistent labelling because at the moment not all manufacturers do the same thing but it will make it less clear in my view than the separate allergy panel. You will be starting to see some of the new labels coming through now because the law will be enforced from next year.
