I would also caution that often times being able to ingest a substance with a slight reaction can be the beginning stage of a severe reaction. Eventhough a child isn't severely allergic he could develop a severe allergy to it at any time. This is often the time when it is most fatal because there are no epi pens and no one is expecting it. We were very versed in allergic reactions when I worked at a centre. All of this stuff was told to us by a pediatric allergist. This is why so many places just go "peanut free". It's pretty scary stuff
My advice would be to request an epi pen no matter what.
