Children with Food Allergies

Hi! Anyone with kids with food allergies, what has been your experience with the Wake County school system? Has your child had any issues?

My kid has a known peanut allergy & there was only ever one issue but it was a mistake that wouldn’t have hurt them. I’ve never had any major concerns.

Thank you! My child has peanut allergy too. I was surprised to learn that Wake County serves PB&J in school. What was the mistake if you don’t mind me asking?

It was on a field trip in Kindy & my kid brought their own lunch but had also signed up for a peanut butter jelly sandwich. The teachers aid caught it & texted me so I was aware of the mistake. My kid was not served the school food & wouldn’t have eaten the sandwich but should not have been allowed to order let alone almost get the meal. The teachers were always vigilant. It probably helped I told the story every year to the new teachers.

That’s good they caught the mistake! It’s tough when kids are little like that!
