With an estimated 1 in 13 children living with a food allergy and roughly two students in every classroom affected, families are right to demand clear answers before trusting anyone else with their child’s snacks. A well‑designed nut‑free snack program—backed by written policies, transparent ingredients, and allergy‑friendly products kids actually enjoy—can transform that daily worry into genuine peace of mind for both parents and program leaders.
