Allergy-friendly Bakeries
This is a list of bakeries that have been reported to us as food allergy friendly or accommodating. Some may be nut free, free of other allergens etc.—but you must contact them directly to see what allergy policy they currently have in place.
Also, the Treasure Mills ‘school safe’ cupcakes are nut and peanut free, at last check, and are sold at DeCeccos in Ardsley and Whole Foods in White Plains.
Stop and shop also has a line of school safe nut and peanut free minicupcakes–but read carefully; the ones NOT labeled with the little ‘nut free’ icon are NOT safe.
