Some of these no-no’s may be obvious, but even so it’s worth checking through:
- Peanuts in any form, including salted or dry-roasted, and peanut butter
- Nut roasts, chestnut stuffing, Bombay mix, Waldorf salad, ice cream and chocolates
- Almond essence, marzipan and nut oils
- Pine nuts can also trigger a reaction, so steer clear of dishes like pasta with pesto
- Nut liqueurs such as Nocino or Nocillo
- Many Indian, Chinese, Malaysian and Thai dishes contain peanuts, so check first
- Watch out for earth nuts, monkey nuts, mixed nuts, arachis oil and groundnut oil
- Hidden peanuts can be found in bought cakes, cookies, pastries, breakfast cereals and bars, sweets, curries and salad dressings
