For years, peanuts and tree nuts have been considered off-limits in school snacks and lunches as a key precaution to protect those with life-threatening allergies. However, as one Canadian school lifts that restriction, is the tide beginning to turn away from specific food bans?

Haven’t nut allergies climbed over the years as well? PB was never banned when I was in school.
I believe nut allergies spiked for a period of time when we thought it was due to early exposure, so people kept their kids away from peanut and that led to much more people being allergic to them. They’re now recommending that you expose your kids to common allergens as soon as possible to avoid this. I’m guessing the numbers are going back down enough that we’re comfortable with allowing peanuts in schools again.
