I do not know if you will remember this post where we presented this blog managed by the mother of a child with an allergy to cow's milk protein, she is Silvia, and give My Menu without Milk offers a lot of information and useful advice addressed to dads and moms who They are in the same situation.
I bring you this entry dedicated to three brands of goodies that make carefully crafted products free of allergenic elements. The intention of the article is not so much to highlight the goodies that are suitable for allergic children, as to emphasize that even with these 'foods' care should be taken when dealing with a health problem such as allergies. Therefore, be very careful when offering sweets if an allergic person is found among children. In addition to the brands that Silvia based on her experience highlights (Miguelañez, Fiesta and Chupa Chups), there will be others that offer sweet and savory sweets for sure. It is very important to read the composition well and discard those that include 'traces of ...' (of course those that directly indicate the presence of an unfit ingredient). Whenever we have doubts we can ask the manufacturer directly.
In these cases it is more important than ever to ask the parents or the child himself (depending on how old he is), as a sign of respect for family habits, and to prevent unwanted situations.
It is clear that the goodies are not necessary, because from the nutritional point of view They do not bring any benefits. The consumption of them at home should be decided by parents, who consciously should ensure healthy eating habits. Here we have already told that regarding all these foods that they only provide empty calories, we can follow (as Julio Basulto indicates in 'I am doing a ball') the strategy of 'not denying, not offering', and especially not having them in the kitchen if we do not want to encourage consumption.
For allergic children, and for those who are not, we can always make sweets at home, not as usual but for give special value to the fact of sharing the process with our children. This is just an example, you should also be careful with the basic ingredients, unless one of them is contraindicated.
