Food Precautions1

Always check labels carefully every time.

“Peanuts” are also know as “Groundnuts” in many countries (i.e. Asia and UK). They are also sometimes know as “Beer Nuts” or “Monkey Nuts.”

One in four with a peanut allergy will also have an allergy to another type of nut. Avoid all nuts.

Nuts or peanuts picked out of or off food can leave dangerous trace amounts for the person with allergies.
