Mixed Nuts with Peanuts

[Carole_Ella]

I know I can't have peanuts, but I was at an event that had mixed nuts.   Can I eat mixed nuts and just give the peanuts to my hubby or is that too much cross contamination?  I also have some cans of mixed nuts at home and am wondering if I can do the same, pick out the peanuts and put them in a jar for hubby and eat the complaint nuts.

I don't know about cross contamination, but a lot of the mixed nuts that I looked at included peanut oil or vegetable oil (which includes soybean oil). Even a lot of the containers  for other types of snacking nuts, like cashews or almonds, included one of these oils. For that reason, I would avoid them unless you can read the label and make sure there's nothing else included.

I had much better luck finding nuts down the baking aisle (they are not roasted and don't have the oil).

Thanks.  I'll avoid them at parties and pick out the peanuts from the ones at home since they are just nuts, no other ingredients.
