A Tasty Peanut Allergy Solution At Last

 

As many as one American child out of every 80 may now be allergic to peanuts - many of them deadly allergic. Not good news to a nation so addicted to peanut butter and jelly that we've all been exposed to the goober by the time we're two. That has food manufacturers, FDA and the entire food service industry grappling with labeling language and burdened by rising liability insurance costs.

Now Sungold Foods introduces a solution kids and adults both love: SunGold SunButter®! Made without peanuts, and you won't believe how good it tastes. Naturally, because its packed with all the superior nutrition and flavor of sunflower kernels. In a recent independent study, more than 66% of five to 12-year olds rated SunGold SunButter® higher than peanut butter. In fact, 24.1% of them rated the smooth, creamy, fresh-roasted taste a perfect 10 on a 1 to 10 scale. What's more it's as versatile as the other butter - only made without peanuts - an easy 1:1 ingredient switch in any food or manufacturing recipe.

And SunGold SunButter® is reliable, eliminating the legal risk associated with accidentally serving peanut butter to someone who could have a serious allergic reaction. That's a lot of us, now. Peanut or tree nuts are the main culprits in food allergies that affect up to 8% of children under four years of age and 2% of adult Americans. Food allergies cause 30,000 anaphylactic reactions (a severe allergy reaction) per year resulting in 2000 hospitalizations and 200 deaths, according to the New England Journal of Medicine. With over 3 million people now allergic to peanuts, tree nuts or both, FDA, food manufacturers and institutional food suppliers are feeling the pressure to be "peanut-free."

SunGold SunButter® now makes that possible without curing our addiction to that creamy, nutty flavor we all love. It's source, sunflower kernel, is not a top eight allergen. The big eight account for up to 90% of all food allergy reactions. Many doctors and most allergy specialists recommend no peanut butter be served to children under the age of three. Nursing or pregnant mother who have asthma or an allergy to anything are also urged to stay away from peanut products. Youngsters and adults alike can now enjoy SunGold SunButter® with no guilt about disobeying the doctor's order. SunGold SunButter® is a reliable, tasty solution for many food manufacturers and food service providers. Much of their legal, labeling and costly insurance rider expense would disappear if they were peanut-free.

And more good news: SunGold SunButter® is packed with the naturally nutritional goodness of sunflower kernels. That means 40% of the vitamin E, 8% of the iron and 49% of the thiamine you need daily is in a single serving. With a consistency, fat, protein and fiber content similar to peanut butter, it's an easy switch that's delicious in and on everything you crave. Awesome in Special K® bars, or that spicy Thai stir-fry sauce. An easy spread on an apple or your favorite bread, a delightful dip with pretzels, celery or crackers. Put it in cookies or energy bars. Add it to your purees, pastes or condiments. SunGold SunButter®. Nutritionally superior. It's made without peanuts. And, you won't believe how good it tastes!
