An orthodox kosher diet or a vegan diet are capable of satisfying these requirements.

Someone who will go into anaphylaxis[1] upon the ingestion of nuts will need to be extra careful; even foods that are prepared in the presence of nuts can cause an onset of a serious allergic reaction. [They should be carrying epinephrine or whatever their doctor has advised them to take in case they accidentally injest some.] Don Armstrong 1: Cardiac arrest is a distal effect of anaphylaxis; the proximal effect is typically asphyxia. -- "...Yet terrible as UNIX addiction is, there are worse fates.
