Does anyone know of food allergy friendly emergency long term storage food options? 3 of 4 are good with the bucket prepper foods, but my little guy is allergic to eggs, dairy, peanuts, & chicken. It makes day to day meals difficult and I've been striking out with long term storage options.

Well dried pasta sealed in mylar with oxygen tabs will last a long time. If you can find some that is not made in a facility with eggs. I know several brands exist in that area, but no idea what the prices are like. 

Rice is not quite as durable, but similar can be done, and I believe there are more egg free facility brands in that area. 

Then you can add dried beans ot the mix assuming it is an actual peanut allergy and not a pea protein allergy. 

Similarly oats can be packaged up for quite a while. 

In general, you are going to have to look at extending the life of shelf stable foods. For the food in a bucket market, most everything is going to have whey, soy, or egg in it.

The only other suggestion I have other than that strategy is talk to some Mormons. Even the ones in NJ tend to abide by the mandate to keep a years worth of stores on hand. Or at least attempt to. There is a lot of for mormons by mormons type of businesses that may have dealt with food allergy issues given the relative size and variety to the population.

Yeah, @ChrisJM981 - I would suggest this as well. (I had no idea until a couple year ago that Mormons are "preppers" as a requirement of their faith.) The question is... how sensitive is your child's allergy? Is it just a problem if milk is one of the ingredients? Or are trace amounts also an issue? (like if dairy is also made at the same plant?)

The Mormons have a system of food stores around the country (and the world). The items they sell are very limited, but might be a solution? They come in cartons of (6) #10 cans. Their website does show allergan info for each product (if you click through to product info). I'm not sure that would meet your needs or not (it seems many of the products were made in factories where milk is also processed). But, if that's not an issue, this might be part of your solution. (The stores are open to the public in case you're wondering... and it appears there are 2 stores in New Jersey).

I have pasta and canned beans on hand. We have to do blood tests to determine which proteins he still has an anaphylaxis reaction to. Hopefully he's outgrown some of them. We've been erring on the side of caution with dairy and eggs. His skin reaction to those were severe.

I've got about 14 of these in a food grade storage bucket.

About 2-3 years back they were selling the 72 hour kits for $10 each and I picked up a bunch.  I even got a few free packs from 4 patriots, but that was because there was an allergy labelling error.  I have seen some buy one get one free sales, but I haven't seen any $10 or $14 deals on them  since 2020!

I am pretty sure that mypatriotsupply or 4patriots (or maybe both) are based out of Utah, assuming a possible Mormon connection with the prepping issue.  The Mormon church also owns most of the genealogy websites, but that is due to another aspect of their religion.

I see the prepping aspect of Mormonism, given that they were an unpopular group back in the 19th century.  Ironically, I think they thought they got away from the USA by going to present day Utah, but the the United States won the Mexican War.  Then they ended up being one of the last states to be admitted to the Union, only in front of OK, AZ,and NM in the "continental 48."

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
