Safe Snack Guide

The Safe Snack Guide is a catalog of over 1000 allergy-friendly food products, all of which are free of peanuts and tree nuts and hundreds free of the Top 8 allergens (peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, milk, wheat, soy, fish, and crustacean shellfish.).

The Guide provides options that can be used in support of allergen exclusion policies for classrooms, youth sports leagues, camps, scouting groups, etc.

Where individuals congregate and consume snacks in the presence of allergic individuals, the Guide provides snack options to help limit the opportunities for contact exposure.

Despite its name, the Safe Snack Guide is not limited to snacks. Products are conveniently organized into more than 40 categories including: Pretzels, Tortilla Chips, Potato Chips, Peanut Butter Alternatives, Breakfast Cereals, Chocolate, Dried Fruit, Baking Mixes/Flours, Cookies, Granola/Trail Mixes/Seeds, Candy, Nutrition/Cereal/Energy/Protein Bars, Grains, and Frozen
Desserts.

Symbols indicate which products are made in facilties free of peanuts, tree nuts and the Top 8 or explicitly marketed free of these allergens by their respective manufacturers.

The Guide is updated once or twice monthly as companies join our Manufacturer Partnership and new products are introduced. The app will notify you when the Guide is updated.

Recommended by thousands of schools nationwide on their websites, in their newsletters, and in direct communications with parents, the Guide helps schools implement allergen exclusion policies for classroom snack time and celebrations.

Allergence

Food manufacturers are not required to disclose the possibility of contamination with common allergens. Warnings like “may contain traces of peanuts” and “manufactured on equipment that processes milk” are entirely voluntary with no guidelines for when they should be used or how they should be worded. Absence of these warnings does not mean the product is safe, even for large, well known manufacturers!

By leveraging our relationships with over 70 responsible companies that provide us with processing information, Allergence steps in where the label leaves off.

Our interactive service screens for 11 allergens including peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, milk, wheat, soy, fish and shellfish, as well as sesame, mustard and gluten.
Enter profiles describing allergen restrictions for each allergic member of your family and Allergence will show you when products meet dietary restrictions for every member, some members, or none at all.

For each product, Allergence shows you which allergens are used as ingredients, which are processed in the line or facility, and whether the manufacturer markets the product as Free From each allergen. The service also shows you whether the product bears kosher, organic, gluten-free and non-GMO certifications from industry recognized authorities.

Allergence allows you to browse products by category or manufacturer and displays product images, descriptions, warnings, ingredient lists, and store finders. You can even share product listings with family and friends via social media and e-mail.
