SchoolSafe Procedure: Send "Wow! Tastes Just Like Peanut Butter!" SchoolSafe SoyButter to School using the SchoolSafe Letter and/or
SchoolSafe
Labels
Socially responsible schools are
implementing peanut free and/or tree nut free policies to reduce the risk of anaphylaxis due to peanuts
and tree nuts and you are accomplishing this goal by sending
SCHOOLSAFE SOYBUTTER to school. Your school cannot stop you from sending "Wow! Tastes Just Like Peanut Butter!" SCHOOLSAFE SOYBUTTER to school as a 100% Nut Free peanut butter replacement.
If your school has implemented a peanut free and/or tree nut free policy, we
have created a simple and convenient procedure to follow when sending
SchoolSafe SoyButter to school to comply with these policies. The procedure is as follows:
- At the beginning of the school year or before you begin
sending SchoolSafe SoyButter to school, download the convenient pre-written SCHOOLSAFE
LETTER, sign it as a parent
or guardian and send the letter to school with your child. This
letter will inform School officials including principals and teachers
about your intention to send "Wow! Tastes Just Like Peanut Butter!" SCHOOLSAFE SOYBUTTER in
your child’s lunch for the school year. It indicates
to the school official that as an educated and concerned parent,
lunches made and sent from your home will be made exclusively with "Wow! Tastes Just Like Peanut Butter!" SCHOOLSAFE SOYBUTTER as a peanut butter replacement and will NOT contain
any peanuts and/or tree nuts. This will ensure the
health and safety of school students while following and promoting
the School peanut free and/or tree nut free policy.
- The school official will then sign the letter indicating their
support, acceptance and acknowledgement of your need as a parent
or guardian to send SchoolSafe SoyButter and will indicate whether
or not you are required to label all foods containing SchoolSafe
SoyButter sent to school.
- If you are not required to label your home
prepared foods containing SchoolSafe SoyButter, then there are
no further actions required. As
a responsible lunch provider and parent or guardian, be aware
of measures necessary to prevent Cross Contamination during preparation
and handling of food.
Should your school require ongoing labeling of your home prepared
products containing "Wow! Tastes Just Like Peanut Butter!" SCHOOLSAFE SOYBUTTER,
please follow these additional procedures:
- Download the SCHOOLSAFE LABEL template
(PDF document format) we have created and save it to your
computer. You will be asked to accept the Terms of Use for
the Label before you will be able to download and save the file. The
downloaded file will also contain a copy of the Terms of Use for
your reference. The SchoolSafe Labels will be at the end of
the downloaded document.
- Print a sheet of labels (the last page of the downloaded
document) which was formatted to be printed on an Avery
Round Label # 08293 which can be purchased at your local
home & office supply store. There are 20 labels per sheet and
the label size is 1.5" in diameter. As an option, you can
print the labels on a plain white piece of paper and tape the label
to your sandwich bag or container.
- Every time you make something at home
using exclusively "Wow! Tastes Just Like Peanut Butter!" SCHOOLSAFE SOYBUTTER (such as a SchoolSafe SoyButter
and jam sandwich) to send to school, apply a SchoolSafe Label to
the sandwich bag or container. Alternatively, simply tape
the label to your sandwich bag or container if you do not wish
to use the Avery labels. Make sure you follow the Terms of
Use agreement when you use the SchoolSafe Labels.
Note: As an alternative to printing the labels from your computer, the labels on the SchoolSafe SoyButter jar can be peeled off the jar. The labels will remain sticky and the big red apple on the label can be cut out and applied to a sandwich container for a more permanent solution. The jar label is made from a material that will better withstand washing and should last long enough until a new jar is purchased.
The SchoolSafe Label has many other important benefits
for parents, kids and school officials. These labels can also be applied
to the outside and/or inside of school lunch boxes or lunch bags. By
doing this, the parents and kids will show additional support towards
the schools' peanut free and/or tree nut free policy. More importantly,
it will act as a constant reminder to the parents and kids that all
lunches going to school must be peanut and tree nut free. It will also
provide a more visible method of informing school officials of the
support for school peanut free and/or tree nut free policies.
We appreciate all the support we are receiving in
helping "Spread the
Word" about SchoolSafe SoyButter to your family and friends and at your
school.
If you need further assistance with your school, send us
an email to info@soybutter.com.
We will contact your school principal directly if necessary.
