Shop bought goodies

After having to throw out many ingredients due to the infestation of pantry moths in my pantry, I thought I would  post about some store bought goodies that we  use.

Real Foods Corn Thins are high up on the family favourites list, spread with Olivani and vegemite they are a yummy after school snack.  (We find they go a little bit soggy in the lunch box though).  The other crackers we use are Carrs water crackers and Ryvita's.  Other savoury snacks we keep in the pantry are plain rice crackers, pretzels, Bluebird potato chips (as well as ready salted, the new sunday roast flavour and the honey baked ham are also dairy free but they do have the  "may contain traces of Dairy" disclaimer), Mexicano natural corn chips and also Abes bagel crisps (again carries the may contain traces of dairy & sesame due to the presence of sesame seeds and parmesan cheese at their factory).   

Sweet snacks are harder to find but Emma likes Orgran outback animal biscuits. Also Golden crumpets are on the safe food list and good with honey on them.  We also buy Florida Fruit nuggets and occaisonally nice and natural fruit strings and marine mix.

We always keep a supply of the small tins of tuna as these are great to take with us when we go out and arent sure if we will be able to find anything for Emma to eat.

Also new to the market are the Wiggles range of snacks from Healtheries.  Although they do state that they may contain traces of Dairy, this is due to being made on the same production line.

Check out this great allergy foods website which lists all the foods available that are guaranteed free from certain allergens.  The biggest problem I find with it is that it only has peanuts in the search engine so some of the foods will contain other nuts, but it is a good base to start from when trying to find premade allergy friendly snacks.
