My daughter is going to school very soon. Her school has a policy of no nuts/may contain traces of nuts in anything, because 3 children are allergic. Everything I can give her- besides fruit/yoghurt, contains nuts or may contain traces of nuts. I usually make muesli slice, fruit and nut cookies, muffins. Does anyone have recipies for nut-free food that are suitable for a 5 year olds lunchbox?

This applies to all children at all times in case they do share. 4 and 5 year olds dont always do what they are told. I know it seems ludicrous, and I have thought about sending her to another school to make things simple. There must be some recipies????

I live in Australia. Students at public schools bring lunch to school or order from a tuck shop,(canteen). We do not have any unhealthy meals- soft drinks, candy, fat pastries in QLD schools.Only foods such as- salads, salad rolls, sandwiches, muffins, milk, juice- are sold here. Prep-year students are aged 4-5 and allowed to order lunch on only 2 days a week. So if I buy her lunch 2 days a week,( which I wont be- I think 1 day a week is enough), there are still another 3 days... Please no more assumptions about our schools. I really need recipies. Surely some foods are safe or else how could theese 2 survive???

I believe that just applies if you are sending a snack for childs classroom to share. Like parties, birthday treats, not your own childs personal lunch.

They have to put this on the wrapper as the chocolate will be made in a factory which makes other products that will contain nuts, and they cannot guarantee that there will be absolutely no traces of nuts on the chocolate bar. What confuses me more is when they put on the 'warning, contains nuts' on wrappers of things like fruit and nut chocolate, peanut butter etc. I'd sure hope there was nuts in there! Or, as I saw on a bar of a well known milk chocolate bar - 'warning, contains milk'. Clue is in the title milk chocolate, I think!

The school doesn't provide lunch? All the schools around here provide lunch for a small fee ($2 currently), OR the child can bring a sack lunch. Is this a school or a daycare? Even then... any decent daycare should supply lunch.

Yes just about all products will contain nuts. Traces!
