30 Nut-Free Dedicated-Facility Snacks for Food Allergy Awareness Week 2026
Food Allergy Awareness Week runs May 10 to 16, 2026. This year's theme is "Invisible No More."
One of the most practical ways to mark the week is to find more foods your family can actually eat. Foods made in dedicated nut-free facilities, where peanuts and tree nuts are not in the building, period. That's a different category than the "may contain" and cross-your-fingers-and-check-the-batch products that fill most grocery store shelves.
Every vendor on NutFreeMarket meets that standard. It is the admission requirement, not a badge some vendors earn. That means every product on this list was made in a facility with no peanuts or tree nuts on the premises.

Frequently asked questions
What does "dedicated nut-free facility" mean?
A dedicated nut-free facility is one where peanuts and tree nuts are never brought into the building at all. This is different from a shared facility that cleans equipment between runs or adds a "may contain" advisory. With a dedicated facility, there is no nut presence to clean up after because no nuts ever enter the premises. Every vendor on NutFreeMarket meets this standard as a condition of being listed on the platform.
Are these products safe for people with tree nut allergies?
All of these products come from vendors with dedicated nut-free facilities, meaning neither peanuts nor tree nuts are processed in the same building. However, individual products vary in other allergen profiles. Some may contain wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, or other allergens. Always check the full ingredient list for your specific needs before purchasing.
