Excellent question -- there's no easy answer here. I definitely think all food served with allergic products -- peanuts, milk, wheat ........ should be posted as to what was in food product.  Now, don't they let child choose randomly from many items?

When we were in school they had lunch trays all made up and everyone ate the same thing and the they cost us 35 cents. I shutter to think how many children ended up sick or hospitalized from the way those lunches were prepared.

why ban them..kids r allergic 2 milk and they sure give out enough of that..

 

Charlee-  I feel the same way. Its the parents responsibility. Others should not have to do without because some can't have it. I know the airlines for years stopped giving peanuts and now they give them out again.

 

Years ago I was at a Taekwondo tournament. A friend of my sons was showing off her emergency kit that contained a needle with meds. incase she had an allergic reaction. They not only kept peanut products out of the refreshment area but they also kept the balloons away from each competition area. Normally there is a balloon at each spot up high. She was actually gloating about it. I told her that I thought it was wrong that over a thousand people had to go without just for her? One of the Reps putting on the competition heard me and asked me later what all I thought and I told him. He said they were approached by her Mom prior to the planning of the tournament and felt there would be trouble otherwise. He started asking other parents and realized all of felt the same...the girl should not be there under the circumstances. They will not do this again.
