We created a list of peanut free tree nuts and tree nut butters made in a dedicated facility, free from contamination from other tree nuts and/or peanuts. This list is intended for families navigating peanut and/or tree nut allergies, and is especially useful for those looking for cross contamination-free nuts for allergy food challenges.
Some of the links in this post are affiliate links and I will earn a commission if you purchase through these links (at no additional cost to you).
When my son was first diagnosed with food allergies, he tested positive to peanut (high), chestnut (low) and almond (low). So, for several years we were advised to avoid peanuts and all tree nuts, just to be safe, since he was so young (diagnosed at age 1), and because his levels were showing various sensitivities to tree nuts.
But now, after several skin tests and an oral food challenge for almond, which he passed, he now only needs to avoid peanuts, which opens us up to a whole new world of options. The only problem is: we need to find tree nuts that don’t have a potential risk of cross contamination with peanuts.
Some families need peanut butter that doesn’t have cross contamination with tree nuts. Some families need almond butter that doesn’t have a risk of cross contamination with hazelnuts, and the list goes on…
So, I did some research to find the best places to buy various nuts and nut butters that don’t have cross contamination with any other nuts (or peanuts).
I’m listing the major tree nuts in alphabetical order below, along with brands/sources for where to buy them. If you know of other options not listed below, please send me an email and I’ll look into getting them added. Thank you in advance for helping me to keep this resource comprehensive and up to date.
Please note: Since manufacturing processes are constantly changing, I recommend using this resource as a starting point, but always double check the links I include to allergen information or call/email the companies yourself to follow up if my last date of contact is more than a year old.

I just contacted Georga Grinders. In their response email of 9/6/20, they state that their almond butter is not processed in a dedicated facility, as this blog states.
“All of our nut butters are processed on shared equipment with peanuts and tree nuts. While we thoroughly break down and sanitize equipment in accordance with FDA and Dept. of Ag standards in between each production run and when switching to the next variety of nuts, we do not have a dedicated line or facility for each variety of nut butter.”
It looks like their “process info” page, which I’d linked to as my source for this info is now going to a 404 page. My guess is they updated their processes. Very grateful for you posting this updated info! I’m going to remove them from my list. Thank you!!
I called Harry and David and there listed as may or may not have peanut oil roasted with there nuts. I have severe allergies. Just wanted to let you know. Thanks
Thank you! I wouldn’t know where to even look for peanut free nuts if it wasn’t for this website.
Hi Nancy! I just wanted to thank you so much for putting together this very informative blog. This particular subject is very helpful to my family because we have a very similar situation. I’m grateful to be able to reference the information here for suggestions. Thank you!
I found your blog while trying to find nuts processed in dedicated facilities, as my son is currently undergoing food challenges. He was also diagnosed with peanut and tree nut allergies at age 1. We recently found out that he is not allergic to peanuts even though he reacts on skin tests. His doctor did a blood test and noticed that he might be displaying a false high peanut allergy. You may want to look into it for your son.
Thank you for putting this together. It has been helpful to find nuts for his other food challenges.
THANK YOU for putting this information together in a single place. Certainly helps parents like us who are also undergoing food challenges. We tried Nuts.com and had a bad experience so this has been incredibly helpful. Thanks again!
Thank you for this list– it’s so helpful!
I just wanted to let you know I think your link for Tierra Farm is bad- it does not go to their website.
Thank you so much for this list! I am preparing for my son’s pecan oral food challenge and am SO HAPPY to have found Pearson Farm’s Allergy Test Kit so now I KNOW the pecans we bring won’t be contaminated with cashews or pistachios, which he’s allergic to. This helped my anxiety going into his first food challenge so much.
Thank you for putting this list together! This was a wonderful help while I was trying to find places to buys tree nuts for my food challenge at my allergist. I did want to make you aware though that I tried ordering from wholesalepinenuts.com and my order was cancelled with no explanation. When I emailed to ask why, I was told that she has been retired. So although the website appears to be “open” for business, it is not anymore.
Thank you for this! My 1 year old daughter was found to have allergies to cashews, pistachios, and almonds and I need to keep her exposed to the other nuts. I appreciate the referrals to these walnut and pecan-only farms! God bless you and keep your child safe on your journey! -Marie
