BBQ Sauce

BBQ sauce has so many ways of being made. It's really important to check the ingredient list and the allergy warning section to make sure your child can eat it. And even then, you need to be wary as you try it. We found one that looked fine for my daughter to eat and then she reacted to it. So we don't tend to give her BBQ sauce at the moment. We discovered one the other night that one brand even has peanuts in it (just as my son was about to eat it!) - so make sure you read the ingredients list and the allergy warnings (the peanuts weren't mentioned specifically in the ingredient list, but were in the warning section).

The main lesson I learnt from this is to assume nothing - read the back of every label if you haven't used that specific product before. Don't assume that because you've had one version of it, the rest will be the same.
