Tree Nuts Made in Dedicated Facilities

In some cases a patient may be allergic to one tree nut and not another. The difficulty is identifying individual tree nuts that have not been cross-contaminated.

Another circumstance in which finding safe, single-sourced tree nuts is important is when an oral challenge is scheduled.

I often refer families to Food Allergy New York’s Guide to Tree Nuts Made in Dedicated Facilities.

The guide is meant to serve as a starting point. Please double-check the relevant facts before shelling out (ha) for any of these nuts!
