Most packages say where the food has been processed- a machine that processes nuts, etc. I'm pretty sure that nuts don't have fancy names considering a reasonable amount of people are allergic to nuts and it's part of the company's responsibility to announce if there are trace amounts of nuts in the product they're producing.

It's unfortunate, but in the case of a severe nut allergy, even traces of nuts can set off a reaction. This can happen in a factory, for example a candy bar factory, where they make a bar with nuts in it, then change the production line to one without nuts in it. But the residue on the machinery is enough to set off allergies in some people, even though there are no nuts in the final product.
To be safe, and especially if it's a peanut allergy, which can be truly violent, you're better off to avoid commercially made snacks and treats. Make them yourself and you'll know exactly what goes into them and how your kitchen utensils have been handled.
Good luck with this!

That is a good question!!! Label read!!! even products that do not contain nuts can still be packaged in an area that nuts are processed and can cause an allergic reaction.. i would suggest to take to your Dr. or a nutritionist.. contact local Health Unit they have nutritionist there and won't cost you a thing for the information...

I don't know the answer to your question, but I believe that in the US (if that's where you are) if there is anything in a food that could cause a nut allergy attack, a seperate warning must be put at the end of the ingredients list, in bold. It usually reads something like "WARNING: THIS PRODUCT INCLUDES WHEAT, DAIRY AND NUT PRODUCTS" So that even if things aren't listed by their well-known nut names, you know there's something in there. I hope this helps!

you might wnat to check with your doctor and ask if your chils is allergic toeither coffee or chocolate. i know these are both beans but sometimes they can be just a hazardous as nuts. also im sure that peanut butter or anything made from peanuts is out of the question, also be sure to watch for tthings that are fried in peanut oil as this couls cause a lot of problems.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME NUTS BY ANY-OTHER NAME ARE STILL NUTS. If you are looking for anything that has nut flavoring in it but don't actually have nuts in there you cant. You CANT give your son anything that has may contain nuts or nut oil on the label. THAT WOULD BE NEGLECT FULL AND CHILD ENDANGERMENT. CPS would have FIELD DAY WITH YOU.
