[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't even though my kids are not allergic. [b]There are so many good alternatives, including sunbutter. [/b]I don't want my kids to cause some other kid to go into anaphylactic shock.[/quote]

Unfortunately, Sunbutter is made on the same equipment as roasted soybeans, which means it is not an alternative for my soy-allergic kid. :-(

I have a kid with a soy allergy too and in some ways it's worse because soy is in EVERYTHING.  My kid is allergic to most fresh fruits (peaches will kill him almost instantly) and many fresh veggies.  He'll have skin reactions to fruit juices, yet he can eat almost all of them if they have been cooked or frozen.

I bake bread and give him peanut butter and jelly sandwiches because his options are pretty limited.  Luckily his school allows peanut butter or we'd be screwed.[/quote]

That is rough, I'm sorry. My kid has peanut and tree-nut allergies, but they are pretty easy to manage because most people are aware of them. It's got to be really hard when the allergies are not as common.

And to answer OP's question, if the school allows peanuts, and you haven't heard of severe contact allergies among any classmates,  go for it. My kid sits next to kids eating peanut butter daily. But his allergy is only triggered by ingestion. I pack all his foods, and he knows not to share.

It would be really nice for kids to all wash their hands "after" eating as well. [/quote]
