Chocolate Chip Minis will be offered to customers on all flights

they will not have to worry about food allergies; they can just sit back
and relax.”

About Skeeter Nut Free
Skeeter Nut Free (also known as “Skeeter”) based in Westport, CT was
founded in 2012 by two dads of nut-allergic kids. Tired of scrutinizing
ingredient lists and frustrated that the snack food industry was
responding to this widespread issue with warning labels and disclaimers
rather than new products, they decided to do something about it. The
result? A trusted brand that makes it a “no brainer” for parents, kids
and groups to choose nut-free snacks that EVERYONE loves. Skeeter is in
retailers and schools nationwide and its products are also available for
purchase via Amazon.com. Wherever kids go, Skeeter the squirrel is right
there too. With taste like this, the question is “why wouldn’t you be
nut-free?”
