Quick Answer

Nut allergies are among the most serious food allergies. The most important steps are reading all ingredient labels, being aware of shared-facility warnings, and avoiding Asian sauces (many contain peanuts) and restaurant food prepared with shared equipment.

Cooking for a family with nut allergies requires vigilance — not just in choosing nut-free ingredients, but in preventing cross-contamination from shared utensils, cutting boards, and cooking surfaces.

The good news: the vast majority of family-friendly dinners can easily be made nut-free, and many are naturally so.
