An estimated two million people in the U.K. are living with a food allergy — and one in 200 of them are allergic to nuts, according to the Foods Standards Agency. Nut traces can be found in all manner of foods, for example, in sesame seeds, in bread and in lupin flour that’s used in gluten-free pasta. Basically, foods you wouldn’t really expect to be dangerous for someone with a nut allergy.
This can make flying a minefield. Not just because traces of nut could be in the air vents of a plane but because of cross-contamination. But that doesn’t mean flying with an allergy or flying with someone with an allergy is impossible.
