Baseball’s opening day is here, but don’t expect peanuts

Posted

It is opening day for America’s favorite pastime and parks across the country are increasingly doing away with baseball’s iconic snacks, to support fans with peanut allergies.

Many major — and minor — league baseball teams have named specific game days as “peanut free.”

Other teams have designated certain areas of the stadium as “peanut-controlled.”

That means there’s a chance peanut particles or residue could be detected.. because nuts are served in other areas of the open-air ballparks.

Allergists also recommend carrying disinfectant wipes for surfaces and emergency epinephrine…. just in case.
