Reminders Regarding Snacks/FoodFor the protection of the growing number of Portledge students with serious peanut/tree-nut allergies, we do not serve peanut butter or nut products in our cafeterias. While other foods - for example, dairy products or seafood - can also cause life-threatening allergic reactions, nuts present a special problem for two reasons: they are the most common culprit in severe food allergies, and they are an oily substance, which makes those allergens especially transferable. To ensure the safety of our students, all outside food should be nut-free. Absolutely no baked goods containing nuts or processed in a plant with nuts may be brought on campus, including birthday or celebration treats. All food items brought to school should have an ingredient label attached.
