Tree Nut Allergy
Tree Nut Allergy
A tree nut allergy can be triggered by even a tiny amount of tree nut protein in the ingredients of an ingested food. A peanut isn’t a nut it is a legume. Although many people with a tree nut allergy are also allergic to peanuts, a peanut allergy should not be confused with a tree nut allergy. Tree nuts are large, edible seeds of trees.Alternative names include:
- almonds
- anacardium nuts
- brazil nuts
- cashews
- chestnuts
- filberts
- gianduja (found in premium or imported chocolate)
- hazelnuts
- hickory nuts
- macadamia nuts
- marzipan
- pecans
- pine nuts (pignolia and pinion)
- pistachios
- walnuts
Tree nut protein is found in: Any oil, butter, or paste made from tree nuts (see above), Nu-Nuts (artificial nuts), nougat, many chocolate candy and desserts, and most natural extracts (natural wintergreen extract is made from hazelnuts).
Hidden Sources: Ethnic foods, commercially prepared baked goods, candy can be cross-contaminated, pesto, barbeque sauces, cereals, crackers, ice cream, and most natural extracts (natural wintergreen extract is made from hazelnuts). Use imitation of artificially flavored extracts instead.
