Home made goods. This was a cookie. The child wouldn't have starved without it. He ate it at home. They had no food? Only cookies?
If you don't understand the problem now, you will when one of your children comes down with it! And--unfortunately--this is becoming more and more likely.
My kids are adults and didn't eat GMO's.
And what constitutes “home made goods”? From what I’ve read, the fact a facility may have used nuts in their facility is a voluntary disclosure, so there’s no 100% certainty in anything.
I mean .. we can presume a loaf of bread is safe? I guess not from the supermarket bakery? What about third party? A package of ham? Could I the kid a sandwich? Scoff if you want but these are real issues a parent would have to deal with.
Just for the record I agree with most of the responses - as a person allergic to nuts I pass on a lot of stuff. I don’t do buffets, I don’t get a lot of desserts out because of the higher likelihood of nut contamination. I don’t go to your Baskin Robbins or whatevers of the world.
But short of growing my own food (which I don’t think is a practical solution), if I go with the attitudes in this thread what exactly are my options?
Your grandchildren might open your eyes.
