Seems like a good idea, yes.
Jessica, I've
always been concerned about packets of "mix-in" and salad nuts on fast food menus, and we've not eaten IN restaurants that serve them, honestly. We quit eating IN our local Wendy's about five years ago. DD has actually eaten there maybe 3 times since then. We also don't do McDonald's because of the flurry things-- it just seems too great a risk for DD in particular.
It's a matter of threshold, though-- I can see how this wouldn't be a huge deal to those that have no problems at all in most restaurants, or are routinely around others eating the allergen. That's not the case for some people though, and for them, this is kind of catastrophic news-- particularly for those of us with teens.
So while if I
have to choose, a packet of nuts is preferable to liquid peanut butter... I'd sure rather that they weren't there to start with.
Peanut
and egg allergy together can make fast food choices particularly brutal-- and the fact is that Wendy's is now the ONLY major fast food chain in our region without a breakfast menu featuring eggs-eggs-eggssssss.
Except now we don't have that either. Makes my head hurt.
