Specific Allergies

Tree Nut Allergy

Tree nuts can also cause severe allergic reactions and often require immediate medical products and help.

Be careful of some products that may contain some hidden sources of tree nuts:

• Artificial nuts can be peanuts that have been deflavored and reflavored with a nut, such as pecan or walnut. Mandelonas are peanuts soaked in almond flavoring.
• Mortadella may contain pistachios.
• Tree nuts have been used in many foods, including barbecue sauce, cereals, crackers, and ice cream.
• Kick sacks, or hacky sacks, bean bags, and draftdodgers are sometimes filled with crushed nut shells.
