Hi Jane,
Thanks for stopping by! While I know your comment is meant to help raise awareness, I think it's important that we don't create fear of foods because some people with peanut allergies are allergic to other legumes like peas. In this article Dr. Scott Sicherer, the Chief of the Division of Allergy and Immunology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, writes "Based on studies, about 95 percent of people with peanut allergy tolerate other legumes (even though most will have positive skin or blood tests to multiple beans)."

I think that the last part is really important - positive skin tests or blood tests alone do not necessarily indicate an allergy. This is why it is critical to work with an allergist who is knowledgeable about food allergies to help you determine which foods you must avoid. The goal is always to eat as broad of a diet as possible for the highest quality of life and to prevent nutrient deficiences. Thanks again for your comment!

Hi Sheryl, Thank you for your comment and for the tip on Safe + Fair!

Hi Diane,
The protein powders I have outlined in the post are all dairy free and the companies have good manufacturing practices to prevent cross-contact with dairy. Of course, always check the labels yourself (or check with the company if you're ordering online) to be sure as labels can change without much notice. I hope that helps!

Hi Kyle,
Thanks for stopping by! This post includes brands that are all peanut free. The Orgain brand is peanut free but does use peanuts in their facility so if you are not comfortable with that, I would recommend choosing one of the other brands listed. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi Linda,
I'm so glad this post was helpful to you! Thanks for letting me know!
