Babies: 9 - 12 Months

I need an answer quick!

DS (9 months on Sunday) and I have a play date with friends at Chick-Fil-A today. DS is eating some table foods and I'd like to shred some of the chicken from a nugget to give him. But, I remembered Chick-Fil-A fries their food in peanut oil. Does this mean he can't eat Chick-Fil-A food until he's over 2? I'm not sure if peanut oil is similar to fresh nut products as far as allergens go. Any thoughts??

  • I "thought" peanut oil was a no until they are older

  • DS is only 6.5 months but SIL has been giving her DS shredded grilled chicken from Chic-Fil-A since he was about 8-9 months.

     

    Side-bar: I now want Chic-Fil-A!

  • If you child is allergic to peanuts s/he will have a reaction to peanut oil. I would hold off.
  • If you or your SO has a nut allergy, I would wait.  Otherwise just treat it like any new food you are introducing.  Maybe take some allergy medication along, just in case if you are really worried.

  • I'll just bring food from home for him. How do I know what other restaurants use peanut oil to cook foods??
  • Actually peanut oil and peanut allergies are not the same.  It is the meat that causes the reaction.

    My brother is highly allergic and had been eating at chick-fil-a for years before he realized it was peanut oil.

    I still wouldn't take the chance, but just wanted to clarify that information.
