Spreads?

[tight rope walker]

My daughter is allergic to dairy, soy, seeds, tree and peanuts, fish and eggs.

We need spreads for school that are safe and preferably in  individual serving size. The room will be allergen safe for her 
She uses Earth balance (red)- but no individual serving sizes.

I believe most jellies are OK, the school have grape, strawberry and mixed fruit that are safe.

Does anyone use Motts Apple Sauce? the school has original, unsweetened and cinnamon. I called the company and they can't tell me if there is any sunflower in it. They will mail me a form in 3 weeks which allows me to put my request for info.  in writing.

Any other spread that are safe?

Thanks for any help.

I don't know for sure that it would work for you, but at first glance it seems to.  Have you tried No Nuts Golden Peabutter?  It really tastes like PB, but is made with peas.

"Seeds" is a pretty big category.  Does that include all beans/legumes?  How about sesame seeds?  I'm asking because one of our favorite spreads is hummus, which is chick peas, garlic, and tahini (made with sesame seeds).  I think most commercially made versions probably contain soy (not sure on that; it isn't one of our allergens so I don't look for it) but homemade is wonderful.  If the commercial ones are safe, I know they come in individual serving containers.

We eat Motts applesauce all the time, but again, we only have peanut and tree nut allergies to worry about so I don't know about any other owrrisome ingredients.  Apple butter works better as a spread, though, although again, don't know about commercial versions or individual serving sizes.

Would there be any school objection to you sending in homemade items in individual serving sized containers?  If so, that would open up a world of homemade spreads and homemade apple sauce and jelly/jam, but if their goal is not just ease of preparation but also long term storage (all of these would need to be refrigerated unless you're canning them in very tiny canning jars) then this probably wouldn't work.

An entire new spread! Wow thanks Hedgehog that is FANTASTIC!

No homemade spreads unfortunately. T

I know seeds is a huge category, per the docs we are avoiding all. She has reacted to Sunflower seed butter (requiring an epi pen). I have my ddoubts about seasame, it seems to be ubiquitous, but we may have been lucky.

Are you supplying for the entire class or just your child?  What grade/age group is the class?

Just curious as to why the doctors haven't tested sesame or mustard, both are pretty easy to test for.  Seeds is an enormous category to avoid it all.

It's preschool. It's private, no 504. We are supplying some spreads for the whole class, they have others. They are also supplying all safe food for her, I vet all of the food that they bulk buy. Since there wasn't enough choice on the school supply list they are buying in safe foods just for her classroom.

When I looked back at her notes she did have a positive RAST and SPT to sesame (no actual reaction). She has reacted to sunflower (and tested for it). Seeds is a huge category I agree.

That is a tall order.

apple butter
pumpkin butter
earth balance
prune butter


some good crackers. 

Are there any rice spreads? I don't know of any, but wondering.

[hopechap]

How about chips and a mild salsa?
black bean spread
white bean spread
GUACAMOLE !     

Yep -- chips and dip -- better than crackers anyway

you may have to make the dips at home and not all kids will go for it -- but worth a try -- certainly healthy.

Wholly Guacamole has 100cal/2oz snack packs.  They need to stay cool/refrigerated, though, and would be pricey to provide for everyone.  Classic (not spicy) Ingredients:  Hass Avocados, Jalapeno Puree (white vinegar, jalapeno peppers, salt) Dehydrated Onion, Salt, Granulated Garlic.

honey
creamed honey may be more like a spread (I think they just whip it - not add cream)
cinnamon toast

tight rope walker, you can bake with pea butter, too, though I think it naturally turns a green tint (just don't be scared by that).

[krasota]

Sunflower seed butter turns green.  I don't think golden peabutter would.

The golden peabutter tastes extremely metallic, like raw beans/split peas.  I couldn't stomach it.  Bleagh.

I know this may sound gross, but how about spam? Or some sort of canned ham finely chopped.  Kids kind of like that stuff. They can spread their ham spread.
