If your DC has a peanut allergy and tree nut allergy can they eat the following products?
Snyder's of Hanover mini pretzels
Honey Teddy Grahams
Oreo cookies
One of the kids in DS's class has a peanut and tree nut allergy and I am putting together the goodie bag for their Halloween party and this is what I bought before I knew their was an allergy. For the Oreo I was going to dip them in chocolate.
They are all prepackaged so the parent can always take a look but I would hate to give the child something for only the parent to take it away.

As for the oreos I'd be careful because some oreos do come with peanut butter filling and there may be cross contamination issues at the manufacturing plant.
As for the other two, just look on the ingredient statement. It should say something like- Contains: Peanuts, Treenuts or something to that effect.
As a parent of a child with a food allergy I want to say it's so great you are showing concern for this. Its nice to know that there are other parents who are willing to try to help keep other kids safe.
Most FA kids are used to having unsafe food taken away and I bet the child's mom has a backup already in place for the treat that they can't have.

none of those items contain nuts or are made on shared equipment with nuts as far as i know, but i always double check. they may however be made in a facility that handles nuts. brendan's nut allergy is low so i allow him to eat same facility foods, but not shared equipment. my friend's son has a severe nut allergy and her DS can't have anything made in a facility that handles nuts.

my son has a peanut allergy, no tree nut allergy. the honey grahms and the oreos should be fine, the pretzels might share the equipment with pb products. just check the ingrediants on the back...i avoid anything that may contain or processed on a machine that may contain

Pretty sure the Hanover's stuff is made in a facility with peanut products. I know it's safe for my son to eat but I don't send it into school because of the possible cross contamination.
The Teddy Grahams should be safe but check the ingredient list.
The oreos would be tossed here. Anything that comes into our house that isn't labeled gets tossed, even if it's usually safe for my son. I just can't be sure that there wasn't any cross contamination when you had it open at your house and you were repackaging it. Not directed at you specifically.

No Snyders Pretzels - They are manufactured on equipment that processes nuts.
You are really thoughtful!!!

ITA with above.
Teddy Grahams and Oreos are fine, but just don't dip them in Chocolate.
The only Chocolate that Ava can eat are plain Hershey Kisses and a regular Hershey Bar.
Chips Ahoy and Hostess Cupcakes are always safe.
