For anyone avoiding wheat, nuts & seeds, trying to find a food allergy friendly granola bar is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I have found that most prepackaged granola products contain at least one or more of the Top 8 Allergens (wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, milk, egg, soy, fish & shellfish). I prefer to just make my own~ these bars are yummy, food allergy friendly and very economical!
