I don’t know. I didn’t have children, and when I was growing up, you didn’t hear much concern about allergies.

When I was a child and even afterwards, NOBODY had a "peanut allergy"; that's a "new" thing.

Some people/children had food allergies ( I do and have since childhood ), but nobody went nuts about them; we all knew to just not eat whatever was causing the hives and/or worse stuff. And sometimes children outgrow food allergies when they hit teen years or full blown adulthood.
