Nut-Free Snacks
Adhering to a strict nut-free policy can be stressful for parents looking for easy packable snacks. What do you mean I can’t send my kid with PB & J?! Fear not! The Big Carrot has you covered! We have a great selection of packable nut-free snacks. Here’s a list of safe products and a few snack ideas. For more kid friendly lunch ideas check out this post.
Designated Nut-Free Facility:
- Belsoy chocolate pudding
- Enjoy life granola bars (Sunbutter crunch, Caramel Apple, Very Berry & Cocoa Loco)
- Enjoy Life Plentils (lentil chips)
- Mary’s Gone Crackers cookies and pretzels
- New Moon Kitchen cookies
- No Nuttin’ granola bars
- Organic Works bakery (gluten free and some vegan breads)
- ShaSha Co spelt cookies
- Sun Rype Fruit to go

Most of these products are sweet treats. Sticking to homemade snacks is the healthiest nut-free strategy. For example:
- Hummus + veggies
- Fruit + cheese
- Sunbutter + banana roll up
- Celery + cream cheese + raisins
- Homemade muffin
- Rice paper spring rolls
- Hard boiled eggs
- Pasta salad with lots of veg
- Kale chips
- Sea Snax (toasted seaweed)
There are of course lots of other products that naturally nut-free but may not be made in a nut-free facility.
