Nut-Free Snacks For Moms Who Buy in Bulk

Updated on Oct 22, 2016 at 4:40 PM

With a lot of schools making moves toward being completely nut-free, it's getting harder for parents who aren't already conscious of nut-free snacks to find alternatives to send their child into school with — not to mention having to bring in individually wrapped foods with the nutrition label on it for safety reasons.

If your child has a nut allergy, you know the drill, but if you are new to this nut-free lifestyle, we've compiled a list of various packaged snacks for you to consider throwing into your child's lunchbox this school year. And the best part? They can all be bought in bulk from wholesale stores* like BJ's, and Sam's Club — buy-in-bulk-moms rejoice!

*Not all varieties are available in each of these stores — check the websites for local listings and more information. And remember, always check the label just in case for the warning "Manufactured on equipment that processes products containing nuts," or something similar.
