UK Food Brand for Allergies
« on: May 27, 2005, 19:40:19 pm »
Thought it may be helpful to list foods that we all use for whatever allergy we are dealing with. If we use the following abbreviations (any suggestions welcomed if I miss something) against any items after listing their brand name and then list where you normally buy from it may make shopping easier for other/new parents dealing with food allergies.

DF - Dairy Free
SF - Soya Free
EF - Egg Free
WF - Wheat Free
PF - Peanut free
TF - treenut free
FF - fish free
CF - Crustacean shellfish free

I've listed the top 8 allergens as we could go on forever and the others are more obvious and less likely to be "hidden" in food. I haven't listed the obvious things eg there's not likely to be fish in bread! but if you do come across a product that could have a possible allergen in to others please let people know.

ALWAYS REMEMBER TO CHECK LABELS BEFORE GOING ON ANYONES RECCOMMENDATION. ALL ITEMS ARE GIVEN IN GOOD FAITH.

Bread, Baked Goods and Morning Goods
M&S Count on Us Soft White Bloomer - DF, SF - M&S
Tesco Light Rye Bread - DF, SF - Tesco Extra
Terance Stamp Sunflower Bread - DF, SF, WF - Sainsburys, Tescos

Fats, Oils and ingredients

Avacado Oil - DF, SF - Tescos Extra
Florentino Basil Pesto - DF, NF, WF (contains onion) - Asda
Florentino Red Pesto, DF, NF, WF (contains tomato and onion) - Asda


Treats

I have to check the labels for additives so I think AF which has popped up on a few of my packages means Additive Free. All Additives affect my DS#1 asthma so for him everything has to be made in house including his favourite meal at the moment of chicken nuggets, corn on the cob and spicy potatoe wedges
