Tree Nut-& Peanut-Free

Let’s eat away from nuts

How nice would it be if you could just sit down and enjoy a good meal without having to wonder whether it “contains peanut ingredients” or “may contain tree nuts” or “may have come in contact with peanuts or tree nuts”? That’s the environment we aim to create for you here at Tufts.

Tree Nut and Peanut-Free Pantry

There is a Tree Nut, Peanut, and Gluten-Free Pantry located in the lobby area of Dewick-MacPhie. Contact Kelly Shaw at kelly.shaw@tufts.edu for access.

Expert advice on nut avoidance

Kelly Shaw MS RD is our Nutrition Specialist. Here are some of her top tips for enjoying your food without having to stress about allergies:

“Concerned about cross-contact? Let our staff know. They’ll be happy to serve your food from a warmer or direct from the kitchen.”
“Our bakery is peanut-free, but we do use tree nuts in some of our recipes — so if you have a tree nut allergy, please skip baked goods and unsliced breads. (We also offer commercially sliced breads, none of which contain tree nuts or peanuts.)”
“Got a sweet tooth? All our soft-serve ice creams and frozen yogurts are tree nut- and peanut-free, and our packaged cookies are made in a tree nut- and peanut-free facility.”
