Food Allergy Awareness

Out of concern and respect for every team member's health and safety, please read and follow our food allergy awareness guidelines in regards to dairy, peanuts and items that may contain tree nuts. TRC is a Allergy-Friendly Facility and as such, we aim to accomodate every child's need to feel safe and welcome in our facility.

There are many events throughout the season that have food options. During our Saturday meetings, we ask the team to bring a sack lunch since we meet from 10-2 pm. Due to a few of our team members having a severe peanut allergy we ask that no peanut products or products that may contain tree nuts be brought to any team meeting and event. We are a peanut free and nut free facility and we try to keep it that way.

We also have a team member with a severe dairy allergy. Consuming dairy products is okay but we just ask students to wash their hands after eating and before touching the robot parts and tools. Also to avoid contamination of our work area, we ask that students not bring in crunchy, cheesy snacks like Cheetos, Doritos, etc. because the crumbs go everywhere and they are difficult to clean up afterward. 

Thank you for your understanding and attentiveness in this area. We want all of our students to feel safe and welcome at our team meetings and tournaments. Food allergies are difficult to manage for many families but if you are unsure of what to bring or not bring, please let Coach Mike know. Jennifer Puckett provides allergy friendly desserts for our program and her website is www.DyliciousCakes.com if you have a student or a family member in need of an allergy-friendly baker.
