Peanut or tree-nut allergy? A label, a peanut-free game, or a cleaned section does not remove the risk of cross-contact or peanut dust elsewhere in the building. Confirm the details with the venue before you buy tickets and again on game day, and follow your allergist’s plan.

United Center does not publish a peanut-free game or any nut-free menu labels. Its menus include nut items, such as almond ice cream bars at concourse stands and dry-roasted peanuts in the 2025-26 suite snack packages. Guests may bring required medical equipment, including epi-pens, subject to search.

Are peanuts or tree nuts sold?

Peanuts are sold (2025-26 menu); not stated whether in the shell. The 2025-26 suite menu's Snack Attack and Stadium Buttery packages include dry-roasted peanuts, and its Giant Taffy Apples come in a peanut version.

Tree nuts are sold. The arena's dining page lists Haagen-Dazs Chocolate or Almond bars at concourse stands.
