Looking for fun, delicious recipes for your child with a dairy, nut, or gluten allergy? Another challenge is finding healthy snacks for children with allergies.

According to the Center for Disease Control, while more than 160 foods can cause allergic reactions in people with food allergies, the law identifies the eight most common allergenic foods. These foods account for 90 percent of food allergic reactions, and are the food sources from which many other ingredients are derived.*
