That's so ridiculously "pc". Most people with allergies know to stay
clear of some things, even little kids!

The only thing I do for bake sales is list whether there are nuts or
not (sometimes they're hard to see), but that's almost more for taste
preferences than anything else.

There are also schools that only want "healthy" treats brought into
school. So if little Sally wants to bring in cupcakes for her birthday
to share with the class, she's out of lucko. What bull.

Just my two cents,
