It is important to note that while we do not use peanuts as an ingredient, some of our products may be manufactured in a processing facility alongside peanuts/tree nuts or any of the big 9 allergens. We want to make students and families aware that this is a reality of living with food allergies or special dietary needs, and a child's biggest advocate is themselves. We recommend teaching them to ask about their allergen or special diet every time they are offered food, no matter the source. 

Additional Peanut Allergy Information:

• ECLC is our only facility where nuts are not served. Our other schools are “nut-aware,” indicating we take extra care to prevent cross contamination. 
• All K-5 schools offer individually packaged Whole-Grain PB&J Uncrustable sandwiches as a meal choice. Otherwise, all menu items for breakfast and lunch will not contain nuts as an ingredient. We serve these pre-packaged peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to further help prevent allergen contamination in our kitchens. 
• Grades 6-12 will always offer individually packaged Whole-Grain PB&J Uncrustable sandwiches as a meal choice, and some menu items may occasionally include nuts.
• This page will be updated if nuts are included on any menu items at our schools.
