Singapore Airlines Puts Kibosh on In-Flight Peanuts
Ryan Boyd May 02, 2018
Due to several high-profile peanut allergy-related incidents in recent days, Singapore Airlines has announced that they will no longer be serving the contentious legume to passengers aboard flights with the carrier. Singapore claims that they will continue to offer warnings to passengers to exercise caution if traveling with a severe peanut allergy, and that although it will no longer offer peanuts, other passengers are not barred from bringing their own peanut-based snacks aboard flights.

Peanuts are a nutritious healthy snack. I think the allergy danger to others from my eating peanuts at my seat on a plane is greatly exaggerated. If someone is that allergic, they should not be out in public without medication. I don't like sitting next to people with their "comfort animals" as I'm allergic to animal dander. But as long as they're allowed in the cabin and people put them on their laps [a topic to discuss another time] I take responsibility for my well being and carry my allergy pills.
Superstition has won once more. "If you are allergic to peanuts, don't eat peanuts" doesn't cut it anymore for the modern man ....
I always bring my own peanuts now.
This is great news!
I have not heard of any allergy related incidents...only allergy related whining.
