About Nut Allergies*
More than two million children – and approximately one in 25 school children in the U.S. – have a peanut or tree-nut allergy. Nut allergies are the leading cause of fatal reactions among food allergies and they have experienced a 400-percent growth in incidence since 1997.

All Skeeter Nut Free products are made in a dedicated nut-free facility with an audited nut-free supply chain, and each production run is tested internally and by third parties before being released for distribution.
