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.
