If you have a peanut allergy, you are probably already avoiding all of the obvious foods: roasted peanuts, peanut oil, peanut butter etc.

Bud did you know that certain food additives contain or are derived from peanuts?

Here is a list of some of the peanut-containing additives that I am aware of:

• Calcium stearate
• Calcium stearoyl lactylate
• Glycerine
• Lecithin
• Linoleic acid
• Polysorbates
• Propylene glycol monostearate
• Sodium stearoyl fumarate
• Stearoyls
• Tocopherol (alpha-Tocopherol, vitamin E)

What has your experience been with peanuts and food additives? You are welcome to tell your story in the comments section.
