Journal Entry 9

PEANUT POLICY

 

The Headrick Family Child Care home is asking  for your understanding in not sending any peanut or tree nut products to the daycare. We have some children with severe allergies to these products. We are looking out for the  health and safety of all children while in our care.  Please do not send any peanut , tree nut or nut-containing products.  These include the obvious peanut butter and jelly sandwich, peanut butter cups, candies, cookies, and cereal bars.  Please be aware of other products that may contain peanuts according to their labels.  Some of the following products contain or are processed in a facility that has nus in them, these are plain M&M’s, Mini Chips Ahoy cookies and low fat Cheez Nips, Chili, yogurt, anything fried in peanut oil, etc.. We must read all labels before a food/drink item can enter the daycare. This is the only way to prevent an allergic child from having a reaction. 


Some products that we have found to be nut free are:
 Jr. mints         Oreos                     Dole fruit cups                       Applesauce                  Pudding         
Twizzlers                    Animal Crackers         Pretzels                        Cheetos
Rice crispy treats                Skittles              Fig Newtons                 Potato Chips 
Nilla Wafers           Pringles            Gummy treats             Cheez Its            smarties               

      
We hope you understand the seriousness of this problem and our efforts to prevent a medical emergency  Thank you for your cooperation.  Please feel free to stop by the office if you have any additional questions regarding this policy.

                                                                                                 Thank You
                                                                                             Melissa Headrick
