I compiled this for my friend who's son has to go through the multiple elimination diet. I thought others here might like the list as well, since most of the things on here are major allergen-free. Most of these are national brands, although some may be a little difficult to find.
Here's the disclaimer: CHECK IT YOURSELF CAREFULLY. We do not avoid wheat or egg, so I am not as familiar with those terms. We also do not avoid soybean oil/soy lecithin.
Let me know if you find anything on the list that contains major allergens. And, of course, please add anything you know of. Thanks!

Also just a reminder that some of those items may be on shared lines....
rice dream, Pacific foods, and Newman's Own salad dressings, for example are on shared lines with nuts, nuts, and egg/fish, respectively.
(Though I mention this really only as an aside, since the cleaning procedures are such that, really, anecdotally, I know of few instances where these things have been a problem. I'd bet that 95% of allergic people are fine with it. But we've experienced XC problems with Newman's Own dressings-- egg, presumably.)
Contadina tomato products contain few other ingredients. (Tomato paste, for example, is just 'tomatoes.')
Also useful for wheat allergen elimination:
Ancient Harvest-- quinoa products
Mrs. Leeper's pasta
Isn't Kix cereal also wheat-free? There is also an amaranth-based cereal through a Natural foods company. Erewhon(sp)?

One thing caught my eye in the list--Quaker oatmeal would not be wheat-free----unless specifically marketed as "gluten free" oats are generally contaminated with wheat (they are grown and harvested together. maybe processed together too--i'm not sure.) |

This is a great thread, especially for those of us who don't have MFA but are trying to support others that do.
It's my turn to bring in a class snack for my non-PA child's room. One of the kids in that class is allergic to peanuts, tree-nuts, soy, wheat, and dairy.
Any suggestions for what to buy in the store - either a packaged snack or something I can use as a base for muffins/etc?
I was going to do pre-made rice krispies treat for a party, but wanted something less sugary for the other snack time.
Thanks for any input! |

Yikes. Everything I can think of that you can buy in the store (other than dried fruit or fruit snacks) has wheat. That's a toughie!
What about corn bread or corn muffins? You'd probably need to make them from scratch because I think even the Jiffy mix has flour in it. I would ask on the wheat board about it, but some of the fruit breads might also work - like banana bread made with rice flour instead of wheat flour.
I'd make sure the parent is even comfortable with you cooking, though, before you go to all the trouble. I would have had to know someone's kitchen pretty well (clean hands, clean pans, understands) before I would have been comfortable letting my milk/soy/peanut allergic child eat a snack provided by another mother. I think it's incredibly nice you're trying though!
One thing if you want to get away from baking altogether would be to just do fruit. My kids always liked kabobs with fancy fruits. (Just watch the little guys with the sticks!) |

If he's going on an elimination diet, he should be avoiding corn, so the Log Cabin syrup should be avoided, and the taco shells, not sure about the stocks, but a lot of them have corn in them as well. Salsa has tomatoes (tomatoes and the whole nightshade family is a big culprit), etc. For anyone going on an elimination diet, they should avoid prepared foods completely and go for things like rice, chicken, etc. one ingredient things. Sorry. I know you were trying to make it easier, but elimination diets aren't easy!
And something that some kids love for a snack at school are rice cakes (the plain ones, lightly salted). My daughter's preschool is no milk, no soy, no grapes, no nuts, and usually we'll do oyster crackers or rice cakes, bananas, rice milk, cooked carrots. Depends how old the kids are what counts as a treat though!

I'm pretty sure President's Choice "The Decadent" chocolate chips
contains wheat. We don't buy them so they must also contain egg or dairy (or are vague-I hate vague lists and won't buy the product if I have options.)
Rizopia rice noodle and many rice stick noodles are 100% rice and would be safe. |

Quaker is not good for someone avoiding gluten. They can not guarantee it to be gluten free. |

Ingredients are chocolate, sugar, soya lecithin and vanillin (artificial). They're marked K: parve. Plus, they're made in Canada and I love those Canadians when it comes to food safety!

I'm always hesitant to vouch for products like this because it's been a long time since we called on this one...and I do not know the current state of shared lines. However, they're a staple in our house |
