A safer, simpler way to shop for the nut-free community
For founders Kate and Lucy, the idea for Nut Free Shop didn’t come from a boardroom brainstorm or a trend report. It came from lived experience — and from seeing just how stressful everyday food shopping can be for people living with nut allergies.
Despite growing awareness around food allergies, the reality is that shopping still often means checking labels repeatedly, avoiding entire aisles, second-guessing “may contain traces” statements, and never quite feeling fully confident. For families, schools, workplaces and individuals navigating nut allergies, food shopping can feel anything but simple.
We felt there had to be a better and clearer solution.
The problem we kept seeing
Nut-free consumers are often forced to compromise. You might find a safe store-cupboard staple in one shop, a suitable treat in another, and a luxury food item somewhere else entirely — all with different standards, levels of reassurance and clarity.
Even with allergy labelling laws in place, recent guidance and education from organisations such as NARF highlight how vital clarity, consistency and trust are when it comes to allergen management. For those with allergies, peace of mind isn’t a “nice to have” — it’s essential.
Kate and Lucy kept asking the same question:
Why isn’t there one place people can shop with complete confidence?
One roof. One standard. Total reassurance.
Nut Free Shop was created to bring all 100% nut-free foods together in one trusted place.
Our vision is simple but powerful:
-
A single destination for everyday store-cupboard staples for an efficient shop
-
A carefully curated selection of nut-free treats and luxury food items
-
Products sourced only from certified, reputable nut-free suppliers who operate entirely nut free factories
-
Clear reassurance for the nut-free consumer — no guesswork, no anxiety
Whether you’re stocking up for the week, buying a gift, or looking for something special you’d normally feel excluded from, Nut Free Shop exists so you can shop confidently, knowing every product meets the same 100% nut-free standard. If a product is not 100% nut free, you will not find it on our website. If a product 'may contain traces of nuts', we will quite simply, NOT sell it.
More than a shop — a community-first approach
Recent studies and ongoing allergy awareness campaigns continue to show that food allergies are on the rise, particularly among children. With that comes a growing emotional burden — fear, exclusion, and the constant need to be vigilant.
Nut Free Shop was built with empathy at its core. We understand that trust is earned, not assumed. That’s why transparency, supplier checks and reassurance sit at the heart of everything we do.
We’re not just selling food.
We’re offering confidence, calm, and choice — without compromise.
Our promise
Nut Free Shop exists so that the nut-free community finally has one place they can rely on to find food made in nut-free factories. A place where safety and quality go hand in hand. A place where essentials and indulgence coexist. And a place where shopping feels normal again.
Because everyone deserves to enjoy great food — without fear.
