Sorry if this in the wrong place, but wanted the best chance at member knowledge.
Are any of the Canadian members aware of a store bought/commercial brand of white bread that does not contain/may contain sesame?
A family member whose kids have just started school has been told this is necessary. So far, the kids will not eat homemade bread....
I thought I would check here to see if anyone has any ideas. We live in Ottawa, Ontario.
I came to this group years ago, DD is pa/tna. She is now 28, managing fine. Her boyfriend is allergic to fish/shellfish. They have both given up foods they enjoy for the other. Even though she doesn't live at home anymore, I am still leery of bringing in food containing nuts.
Is there a reason why 'may contain' is not allowed? That seems a bit excessive.
My mother with sesame allergy has to get bread from a local bakery that makes special bread for her. No commercial bread in our part of Alberta, at least, is safe.
I would ask the school to ask the parent requesting the restriction to provide suggestions, if this is an issue for others. Then the teacher could send out a list of safe alternatives to others.
