FOOD GUIDELINES FOR RECITAL DAY
There are a few dancers in our studio who have severe food allergies and I am asking for your cooperation when bringing food to the recital. Please be aware and do not pack snacks with peanuts, tree nuts or dairy/milk products. Please read the label of the products you would like to send. Some of these ingredients are sneaky and you would not expect them to be in the snacks you would like to send (ie, no Cheez-It’s as this has milk powder). We also ask that you send items that will not stain the costumes. (No red fruit punch, chocolate, etc.)
Below are some suggestions for snacks (please keep in mind that manufactures change their manufacturing process so a food on this list might not now be ok.)
- All Fruit and Vegetables
- Plain Wheat Thins
- Plain Ritz Crackers
- Saltine Crackers
- Plain Lays Potato Chips
- Bachman Pretzel Stix
- Go Go Squeeze
- Vanilla Oreos
- Graham Crackers (Nestle or Honey Maid)
- Teddy Grahams
- Skinny pop popcorn (plain)
- Tostitos Chips
- Barnum animal crackers
- Belvita cinnamon, blueberry or chocolate
