Safe Snack Guide — Milk (Dairy) Free Edition

All products in this edition of the Safe Snack Guide are milk (dairy) free with many free of the Top 9 allergens, mustard and gluten!

This edition of the Safe Snack Guide is a catalog of commonly available foods (not just snacks!) free of specific allergens that is updated every 4-6 weeks throughout the year.

In addition to helping families, the Guide serves as a resource for schools, youth sports leagues, scouting groups, clubs, parties, playdates and other events where people with food allergies, celiac disease or other food restrictions must be accommodated.

Why the Guide?

While US regulations require manufacturers to label when any of the Top 9 allergens are ingredients of a product, they do not have to disclose when those allergens are processed in the same line or facility as those products are manufactured. Warnings like Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts and May contain traces of milk are entirely voluntary; some manufacturers include them, some don’t, and some will warn for one allergen and not another.

Even a trace of an allergen can cause life-threatening reactions, hence the need for well-researched information that goes beyond what is required on the label: our guides.

How We Source Information for the Guide

SnackSafely.com partners with 130+ responsible manufacturers who agree to use our proprietary platform to disclose detailed processing information for each product in exchange for free listings in our guides and our interactive Allergence product screening service. We then curate that product data for completeness and accuracy and use it to provide you with information you won’t find on the label or anywhere else.

Part of Your School’s Policy to Prevent Anaphylaxis

Many schools don’t have policies in place regarding food in the classroom leaving children with food allergies at risk of contact reactions including life-threatening anaphylaxis.

When food is consumed in the classroom for snack time, lunch, or celebrations, we encourage schools to adopt the Guide as part of their respective allergen exclusion policies. Thousands of schools do so by linking to our guides on their websites or in email communications to families.
