The use of peanut butter is being threatened in response to the peanut allergy issue. Because the severity of a peanut allergy attack can be quickly fatal, institutions such as schools, camps and day care centers are increasingly refusing to serve peanut butter. And the fear of transmitting or contracting the allergy has caused many OB/GYNs and pediatricians to recommend that pregnant/nursing women and children under three years old not consume peanuts/nuts. These actions effect primarily non-allergic individuals who consider peanut butter an indispensable part of their diet. They do not want to give it up because it represents a combination of nutrition, convenience and acceptability unlike anything else. If uncontrollable circumstances prevent using peanut butter, then a substitute that avoids the peanut/nut allergy problems, but delivers all the desirable characteristics of peanut butter would be in great demand.
