Peanut- and Nut-free Alcohol

Are you allergic to peanuts, walnuts and almonds? Then this page is for you!

For those of you with food allergies, you know how difficult it can be to know whether an alcoholic beverage is safe or not. Some time ago, I was shocked to learn that several bottles in my personal bar were not safe for my girlfriend, who is deathly allergic to peanuts, walnuts and almonds. There were even some bottles that she didn’t even know could contain them.

I contacted several authorities (SAQ, LCBO, ANBL), several organizations (Allergie Québec, Allergie Canada, CSACI) but no one had a list. Even the manufacturers almost never give clear answers about the ingredients in their products.

So here’s the most comprehensive list I could accumulate from my research. The list is international, so many items are not available in Quebec. Many thanks to the visitors who send me messages to improve this page!
