Allergy-Friendly Easter and Passover

While kids are busy hunting eggs 2C food allergy f

Easter and Passover holidays mean kids are busy hunting eggs and Afikoman (matzo), but families with food allergies are on a different kind of search. From finding allergy-safe chocolate bunnies to scoring the perfect eggless dessert for Sunday brunch or Seder, there is a lot to gather and get creative with. Luckily, Spokin has the resources to make the hunt easier.

For Easter, we’ve created candy guides for both the classics and top 8 allergen-free, a how-to on eggless egg decorating, and curated allergen-friendly recipes for Easter brunch, lunch or dinner. For Passover, we have allergen-free alternatives for your Seder plate and recipes that accommodate both observing the holiday and food allergies. Consider this your golden (allergy-friendly) egg to a safe Easter and Passover.

Editorial Note: See our 2021 Passover Guide for an updated list of allergy-friendly Passover products!

Food takes center stage at holidays, but more than anything, it’s about being with loved ones. The warmth and safety we feel on these special occasions should extend to the meal itself. We’ve curated recipes to swap out allergens that typically make an appearance at the Easter or Passover meal so the whole family can feel included.

Egg(less) Decorating

When it comes time to dye Easter eggs, those with egg allergies don’t have to be left out of the fun. 
We’ve found three creative alternatives to help you safely decorate, egg-free.

Eggnots

These inedible dyeable ceramic eggs look and feel like the real deal. No boiling, refrigerating or cracking with these guys.

Eggnots was hatched by a woman who hated seeing her egg-allergic niece left out every Easter and decided to do something about it.


Egg Shape Sorter

For little ones with egg allergies, these mix and match sorting eggs are a great non-food Easter gift. Scramble them up to help them learn about shapes and their allergen – then get creative with permanent markers and stickers to add some festive flair.
