Must read labels: Food manufacturers must offer a consistent product from batch to batch, regardless of changes in the ingredients (e.g., growing conditions such as sunlight and water for vegetables), so they add various fillers as needed to do so. Thus, the only safe way to completely avoid a food in a diet is to read the label on everything your child eats. If there's no label - don't serve it.

Avoid egg nut peanut: Avoid all products with egg, tree nuts (almond, brazil nut, hazelnut, cashew, pistachio, pecan, walnut, macadamia), peanuts. Person with tree nut allergy has 23-50% chance of being peanut allergic and allergy to one tree nut frequently associated with other tree nut allergies. Read labels carefully. It is essential to see allergist skilled in food allergy to sort out what the baby's allergies are.
