Allergy Free Snacks-Granola & Trail Mix

We all know that granola and trail mix can provide a great macronutrient source, and huge bonus, it travels great! I mean, it is called trail mix for a reason...  So naturally, this is the first place many people turn to find healthy snacks they can stash just about anywhere. 

 

This is also a product where those with certain food allergies can hit a wall quickly.  Traditionally, many of these products contain nuts or are processed in facilities with a high likelihood of cross contamination, this is where products can be affected by other foods manufactured in the same plant.

 

When this happens, it can wreak havoc on people with food allergies, because the label doesn't include these other foods that have come in contact or close proximity with them. With that in mind putting this list together, we worked to find some of the safest and healthiest allergy free options available.
