My oldest is starting kindergarten. They do snack time at school, and all parents are required to send in something for snack once a month, this is for 28 children. Snacks can not be homemade, must be in a sealed package. No snacks can be sent in that contain any of the following peanuts or tree nuts, milk, chocolate, or blueberries due to allergys in the classroom. Does anyone have ANY ideas of snacks for a kindergarten class room that don't contain ANY of those things, and that are sold in a sealed package?
edited for the dense----
must be in a sealed package and cant have ANY of the following in ANYTHING at all. This means the product can't have milk or nuts or chocolate or blueberries. no picking and choosing which allergy to ignore.it can't have ANY OF THESE THINGS IN IT. and it has to be in sealed package
milk is in just about everything, or nuts are. having to get something that doesn't have either of those things (lets not forget the choc and blueberries too). I can't just send in oranges or grapes because they're not in a sealed package.
what I'm asking is what is sold in a sealed package that doesn't have ANY of those things in it at all?
unfortuantly I think most everything you get in a 'sealed package' comes from a factory that processes nuts of some kind. :(
One of my friends said to check out the natural or health food sections of the supermarket or just a straight up health food store. They ususaly have a good selection of things that are nut free.

well we don't have a health food store anywhere in our town or the surrounding towns, no that's out. ONE grocery store (which is the most expensive one anyways) has a small organic section, that's the closest any stores might have to a natural or health food section. I'm assuming this monthly snack is going to be really expensive huh?
I always went to Sam's Club and bought the huge container of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish, or the animal crackers. Pretzels work, too.
Yeah it seems like it will be. You could always take a few hours and just read everythings ingredient list to get an idea what has it and what doesn't.
