Allergy Free Snack Ideas

Many kids suffer from food allergies today.  When serving food at the church, we need to make sure we take the time to not only check with kids and parents about potential allergies, but also check the foods we’re serving to make sure playing it safe when it comes to allergies.

Here’s a list of the top 8 food allergies:

1. Dairy
2. Egg
3. Soy
4. Wheat
5. Peanut
