PLEASE KEEP IN MIND….

Many Clairlea students and staff have allergies and some are life threatening.   As a community, we must work together to provide a safe environment for all. We ask you to ensure that no peanut or other nut products enter our building. Seafood & shellfish also pose a threat to some of our students.

Please take the time to read the list of ingredients carefully on all products. Here are some examples of foods that contain these potentially life threatening items:

Nutella - contains Hazelnuts

Seaweed Snacks – contains fish sauce, salmon or other fish products

Peanut Butter Granola Bars – contains peanuts

Tuna or Sushi – fish products

Pesto sauce – can contain pine nuts and anchovy paste
