Peanuts are a nutritious, affordable, and versatile ingredient that college students love. Yet, concerns about food allergies may lead to peanut bans in campus dining programs.
Research shows that effective allergen management—not exclusion—is the best way to ensure student safety while offering a diverse and inclusive menu. Experts, including the CDC and the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, recommend comprehensive allergen management strategies over outright bans.
