How do prisons handle people with peanut allergies?

  Depends on the country. The Canadian government lists several special medical diets for prisoners. Food allergies is one but they list quite a bit like diets for diabetic or pregnant prisoners. For all these diets the prisoner must be diagnosed and can’t simply request it because they want it.

  A diet of conscience is a requested diet for religious or moral beliefs. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms requires prisoners recieve a diet that conforms to their beliefs should they be able to adequately describe and demonstrate adherence to them.

  Peanuts are easy enough to eliminate from catering. Airlines don’t serve any food containing peanuts, in case there’s a passenger on board with an allergy severe enough to be set off by peanut aroma in recycled air, so if one assumes that prisons have a nominal duty of care for inmates at least to the point of not killing any accidentally, it’d follow that they also abolish peanuts from their food.

    Airplanes do not recycle air. It’s constantly turned over with bleed air from the engines.

      This absolutely.

      They sell peanuts, m&ms, Asian food, etc at all the little shops in the terminal.

    There’s no evidence to support severe allergic reactions from airborne nut particles, fwiw. Reactions occur from ingestion or skin contact, not air.

      Legal says it’s better safe than sorry.

  In the US? They’ll murder them, most likely. They murder a lot of people there.

  If they have a specific food allergy, they are given a meal that won’t have that in it. Dietary and Medical keep very up-to-date lists of who can have what. Whether it’s an MTI meal, Gerd, alternate protein, etc.

  And gluten intolerances, or any food tolerance issue?

  They let them die of course.

  What do you think they did?
