I recently learned that the Austin Cheese crackers we use in the clinic (mainly for diabetics, but occasionally for the "I didn't eat breakfast this morning-ers") contain peanut flour..... Here's the article.... yes I know I'm over 3 yrs behind ? but I never thought to read the label nor research it before.
March 2016: Peanut Flour Added to Austin Sandwich Crackers The Kellogg Company would like you to know that starting in April, 2016; Austin will be changing the allergen statement on four flavors of sandwich crackers under the Austin® label. The flavors, Austin® Cheddar Cheese Cracker Sandwiches, Austin® Grilled Cheese Cracker Sandwiches, Austin® Pepper Jack Cracker Sandwiches and the Austin® Variety Pack Cracker Sandwiches will contain Wheat, Milk, Soy, and Peanut ingredients. The products will contain a new ingredient, peanut flour.
So I guess the kids will be munching on several packs of Saltines or Ritz crackers ( the little individual pack like on the salad bar) to try to bring up low BG. Our district's central office will supply crackers and Juicy Juice.
We buy tablets so we can stock all rooms in case of lockdown and keep some fruit snacks (I like the tiny halloween packets) but even our least co-operative parents are good at keeping us stocked with juice and longer acting snacks. I think one of the nurses has put the fear into them because she will call CPS over something like that.
