Need Classroom Special Snack Ideas

We need Allergen free idea's

specifically: Gluten free, peanut free, egg free and vegetarian prepackaged items

If there is a easy Gluten free replacement for something I will take those as well

example: Oreo's are peanut, egg and vegetarian but not gluten free, but there are Oreo-like cookies available gluten-free to sub with.

These are for special events so they do not have to be healthy, but not candy like either.

Thanks.

There is a oreo type cookie called k-toos by kinninick. I have to not only have gluten free snacks for my youngest son but they have to be peanut/nut free since there are kids in his class with nut allergies. These are a few things I put in his snack box: Craisens (in individual packages), snack size orville redenbachers microwave popcorn, fruit cups in natural syrup, applesauce cups, betty crocker fruit snacks/fruit roll ups, enjoy life chocolate chip and snickerdoodle cookie packs. Enjoy life also has snack bars. Can you do the chex cereals? I found a cool idea on there for fruit sushi. Here are some likns for some ideas.

I make a batch of Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownies and allow them to cool. Cut into squares and wrap with saran wrap, then with aluminun foil and freeze in large ziploc bags. Each day, I take one out as needed. Already individually wrapped and they defrost by lunchtime....

I am looking for store bought, prepackaged items for an entire classroom.

We can't do Enjoy life, Kinnikinnick, GLutino or specialty gluten-free products ( cost for an entire classroom is pricey) but most other idea's will work, thanks.

Cheese, I was going to suggest fruit and veggie trays (but then I saw the pre-packaged comment). Pretzels? (Subbing with a gluten free pretzel). Fun yogurt cups (probably too expensive depending on class size).

Betty Crocker fruit roll ups and fruit sancks.

Pudding cups - they're gluten free, not sure on the rest

Rice crispie treats with you subbing gluten-free version

What about those little mini bananas? Clementines are in season and are fun to eat. Those kinda come in their own packaging :P I've seen pre-packaged baby carrots, grapes, and apple slices too. Do they make soy string cheese?

I know you want to keep cost down for an entire class, but what I do for my daughter and her dance parties (she is 3) Is I buy a bag of gluten free pretzel twists and rolos. I put the pretzel with a rolo on top and put in the oven for 1 min (350) press the rolo down with another pretzel and you have a quick allergy friendly snack :) My nephew is allergic to eggs and nuts so that is the snack my sil & I prefer because the enjoy life cookies ect are so expensive.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
