A friend is travelling with their PA children from Canada through the Western USA (Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, California, Idaho, Oregon). They are wondering what brands of the following items to look for that will be peanut-free:
- crackers
- bread
- granola bars
- snack foods
- restaurants
Any suggestions? They are travelling via RV so they will have a place to cook.
In Oregon, Franz breads are safe-- we use their sourdough bread, English muffins, and even their DONUTS, believe it or not. The chocolate covered ones are pretty good, actually.
Granola bars-- not much-- Enjoy Life is about the only one that I know of.
Snack foods-- honestly, we often look to Canadian brands. Sabra makes hummus singles, and we use Tillamook cheese in individual packaging, too-- that and local apples (when DD can tolerate them) tend to be go-to items for us.
Crackers-- Dare and Keebler, as labeled.
Mission and Don Pancho tortillas are also safe and available pretty widely throughout the region identified.
In-N-Out burger in California has a very limited menu which is historically peanut-free.
Burgerville in NW Oregon and SW Washington is
amazing for food allergies-- they have a "big book" with the complete run down of the entire menu-- even the milkshakes (regular-- not the specialty ones) are safe. It's fresh strawberry season now through early June, so that is the seasonal shake flavor.
I also highly recommend their Walla Walla onion rings and the
Marionberry/blackberry shakes in late summer are
second to NOTHING edible anywhere, IMO. Really. There is
nothing that I have ever eaten anywhere that I would trade one of those shakes for. Period.
