Allergy Free Kids Lunches

Simple Food Inc. Soynut Butters - With more and more schools banning peanut butter to keep kids with allergies safe, all parents may want to take note of these organic, nut-free butters that come in five cool flavors: Chocolate, Cinnamon Sugar, No Sugar-No Salt, Sea Salted, and Slightly Sweet. While some of our testers noticed the butters were a little grainier than your standard PB, it didn't seem to matter to the kids -- they gobbled their sandwiches up anyway. Good for: Kids with peanut and tree nut allergies Find it: Online and at select health food stores nationwide, from $4.99 to $7.99

Enjoy Life Natural Brands Granola - Perfect for breakfast or an after-school snack, Enjoy Life's granola is made from brown rice instead of other grains, making it a delish treat for kids with gluten allergies. It's also totally nut-free. One tester noted that it's not quite as crunchy as regular granola, but still had great cinnamon-y taste. Also available in Very Berry Crunch and Cranapple Crunch. Good for: Kids with gluten and nut allergies Find it: At select grocery and health food stores nationwide, $4.99

Snikiddy Snacks Puffs - These organic and gluten-free puffs (they're made from corn) come in fun flavors like "Pizza Pie," "Grilled Cheese," and "Rockin' Ranch" -- and our testers devoured them all. One called them "a totally delicious snack." Good for: Kids with gluten allergies Find it: At select retailers (check their Web site for a full list), from $2.99 to $3.99

LesserEvil Krinkle Sticks - Even though potatoes are safe for people with gluten allergies, potato chips aren't always (some seasonings may contain gluten). Our testers loved this tasty solution from LesserEvil: a totally gluten-free potato snack called Krinkle Sticks, with a "crunchy, airy texture." With only 2.5 grams of fat per serving (and no trans or saturated fats), these sticks are a healthy, safe chip swap. Available in Classic Sea Salt, Sour Cream & Onion, Old School Bar-B-Que, and Cajun Kaboom!

Divvies Cookies, Cupcakes, Popcorn, and Candy - Got a birthday party in the works? Consider having these goodies (all nut-, egg-, and milk-free) from Divvies. The frost-your-own-cupcakes were a total hit with our testers -- other party- and kid-friendly foods include cookies and popcorn for a crowd (scoop and bags included). Good for: Kids with peanut, tree nut, egg, and dairy allergies. Find it: On their Web site, from $5 to $60

Cherrybrook Kitchen Mixes - These yummy box mixes come in 10 different peanut-, dairy-, egg-, and nut-free varieties (everything from brownies to pancakes) and seven gluten-free mixes. Even better, they're super easy to whip up and taste so good you'll hardly notice they're allergy-free. As one tester/baker noted, "it took less than five minutes to get the chocolate chip cookies in the oven, and I couldn't stop licking the bowl while cleaning up!"
