SINGAPORE: Singapore Airlines (SIA) on Monday (Apr 30) said it has stopped serving peanuts as snacks to customers in all cabin classes.
In response to queries from Channel NewsAsia, a spokesperson for SIA said the move was implemented in April.
"Cashews, macadamia nuts and walnuts continue to be served in Suites and First Class, while almonds and cashews continue to be served in Business Class and Premium Economy Class," SIA said.
The spokesperson added that snack packs for Economy class now contain peas and crackers instead of peanuts.
This move comes after a toddler suffered an allergic reaction towards peanuts on board an SIA flight last July. According to Australian media, the boy started vomiting and his eyes started swelling when passengers opened the snack packets of peanuts.
