Peanut-free cooking is usually straightforward. Peanut-free snacking is not -- it is the wrapped thing in a lunchbox, a coat pocket or a desk drawer that has to be checked every time, and those are the packets with the smallest print.
So this aisle leans sweet and packaged: Kellogg's Bug Bites cinnamon graham crackers, Special K pastry crisps, Pop-Tarts in frosted s'mores and unfrosted brown sugar cinnamon, MadeGood granola minis, Drizzilicious mini rice cakes, Lorna Doone shortbread, Daelmans stroopwafels, Anna's ginger thins and Schär gluten-free ladyfingers. The cupboard end is here too -- Barilla pasta, Heinz ketchup and relish, Herb-Ox bouillon, Hellmann's and Duke's mayonnaise packets, Coffee mate creamer singles.
Peanut-free is not nut-free, and we have not blurred the two. Only the peanut line of the manufacturer's allergen statement is sorted on, so tree nuts are still in this aisle -- the Rigoni di Asiago hazelnut spreads sit in it. Filter separately if tree nuts are also a problem, and check the physical label, since recipes and shared-line warnings change.
