Some schools have banned homemade goodies for classes, thinking that store-bought is a better option, but if it doesn't specifically say on the package that it was produced in a factory where peanut products aren't used, it's not any safer. I doubt very seriously that Little Debbie has two separate factories for ding-dongs and nutty bars.

Just about ALL schools ban homemade treats, but when that occurred back in the 80s, it had more to do with AIDS than allergies. I vaguely remember when you could bring homemade, then the next year it was banned.
