Most elementary schools have policies restricting peanut products. But few know how well they work or how badly they are needed. A CIHR-funded researcher, Dr. Ann Clarke is answering both those questions. In one study, she compared the proportion of lunches containing peanut products in schools with a policy banning the products where there are children with peanut allergies and in schools without such a policy. "We were surprised to find that, in schools where peanuts are permitted, they only show up in 5-10% of lunches," she reports. "Parents don't know whether the policy applies in their child's classroom, so they are choosing to avoid peanuts."
