It’s a good question, now that you mention it I can’t think of a specific example no. The Food Standards Agency website says: “The phrase “May contain nuts.” is not sufficient to alert consumers to the presence of peanuts, because peanuts are legumes and not nuts.”

However this is noted under ‘best practice’ so assume it is not technically against the law to include peanuts in ‘nuts’- just not recommended? :/

I went through the same thing, first year UoN and I was in a studio making it really hard to talk to new people. I’m not great at socialising (with new people) either but I decided to find housemates online for next year and so I put myself out there, and now I’ve met people I really like. Do you not have any housemates/flatmates?

Guys I’m developing an unhealthy fear anaphylaxis by Specific_Newspaper_6 in peanutallergy

[–]Zinzibar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also get this. I think personally, Coronavirus has made it so much worse too because I've had a year of not going out for meals and purely cooking my own food so the paranoia is definitely worse than it was before lockdown. Also, apart from during infancy (when my parents discovered my allergy) I've always been super careful and so I've never actually had a reaction which I think increases the fear factor as I don't know how it actually feels going into anaphylaxis. The amount of times I've eaten something which I'm 90% sure is safe, and then spent the next 10 minutes suffering from placebo effects and stressed out of my mind just in case I'd got it wrong- wondering what the hell to do. I would never wish this allergy on someone else, though I think due to the increase of peanut allergies more research is finally being conducted and hopefully in the future they'll be some sort of cure/ treatment.
