Peanuts
are one of the top 9 commonly allergenic foods in the U.S. Schools can
manage food allergies in a variety of ways and the CDC recommends using a
comprehensive plan to manage all food allergies, including peanut.
While experts do not recommend using food bans to manage food allergies
and most schools serve peanut foods successfully across the country,
when schools do implement bans, peanuts are the most commonly banned
food. In this session, attendees will hear why peanut butter is one of
the most useful foods schools can have on the menu during these
increasingly difficult times because they are shelf-stable, affordable,
and nutritious. Peanut allergy facts, including busting common myths,
will be shared, followed by two case studies. Case Study 1 will follow
one school district's efforts to keep peanut foods on the menu in the
face of advocates asking for bans. Case Study 2 will show how a second
school successfully brought peanut butter back to the menu after a 15+
year ban. Attendees will learn practical ways to address misperceptions
about peanuts in schools and important keys for safe food allergy
management.
