46. Peanut Allergies A peanut is neither a nut nor a pea. Peanuts grow from the ground and are actually considered legumes (beans).
Peanuts are not the same as tree nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios, etc.)
Be careful to distinguish between a peanut allergy and a tree nut allergy.
Peanut allergies are one of the most potentially dangerous food allergies.
Peanut proteins are often found in unexpected food sources, including Asian foods, candy, chili, soups, baked goods, marzipan, and other sweets.
Some individuals may also develop a reaction simply by inhaling the aroma of peanuts.
Next Slide
47. Peanut Allergies Remember to prevent cross-contamination by thoroughly cleaning counters, utensils, equipment and pans that have been used in preparing and cooking peanuts or foods containing peanuts.
Soy nut butter may be substituted for peanut butter, but some individuals may have to avoid both since they are legumes.
Most chocolate bars and chocolates contain peanuts or traces of peanuts or tree nuts. Safe source of chocolate: www.vermontnutfree.com
Watch out for the following when reading ingredient lists and labels on food packages.

49. Peanut Oil Most commercial oils such as peanut oil are highly refined (hot solvent extraction process), which removes the protein from the product. Since it is the protein in allergenic foods that triggers a food allergy reaction, there is some evidence that suggests that highly refined oils are non-allergenic. However, cold pressed oils and some gourmet oils may contain allergenic proteins.

50. Tree Nut Allergy Tree nuts are classified as nuts that grow on trees! These include such nuts as walnuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios, etc.

Avoid natural extracts, such as pure almond extract, because they may also trigger allergic reactions. Instead, try imitation or artificial flavored extracts.
Most chocolates contain traces of tree nuts or peanuts. Safe source of chocolate: www.vermontnutfree.com
