Allergy info for the sour powder you can fill tube with? Big pixie stick?

[Hezzy04]

Not sure if anyone has this info, or knows where I can find it.

I have been talking to my girls about how they can create their own giant pixie stick at Disney World. I never thought twice about it bc I know regular pixie sticks are safe for my kids.

However...does anyone know of the powder Disney uses is safe or not for a peanut allergy? Or is there some way I can find out?

I've never had one but I can't imagine they would be safe for peanut allergies. Even if the powder itself is safe, it's not packaged, it's self serve, and a lot of kids touch the bottom where you put the tubes, etc. I imagine the risk of CC is astronomical.

Personally, I don't know if any of the non packaged products in the bakeries and candy stores are peanut safe...especially int he candy stores. They have so many things with peanuts and tree nuts in those places that it just seems like a problem waiting to happen.

However....since I have never had those giant sugar sticks, hopefully someone else on the board has recent experience with those and can give you a more definite answer (or at least personal experience)

Not sure about cross contamination, but I thought they had the ingredients listed on the dispenser.

I think the ingredients is listed on them

about cross contamination can you ask a CM for a container form the back just tell them your child has a food allergy and you want to make sure that it dose not have an allergen on it that your child can not have.

This is completely a question for how strict you personally are.
As far as ingredients, yes they are fine.
As far as what anybody around them has touched- unlikely to be an issue, but unlikely is not a certain answer.
What I can say is that my allergy child has had them on every one of our yearly trips with zero issues. This same child has broken into full body hives, wheezing, facial swelling and low blood pressure from touching surfaces with invisible traces of peanut which he has NOT ingested. So in my experience the chance of reaction to those items is very very low but not impossible.

I agree with mistysue and I also have a child, grandchild, that reacted to an unseen peanut butter trace while in a ride line. he reacts as soon as he touches so it happened there not at a mealtime as it was over an hour since we ate
