Skinny Cow - SAFE

2016 - Skinny Cow has been purchased by Nestle, and for the most part is safe!  Labels are reliable - will disclose any risk of cross-contamination!  YEA!!!!!

2013 - For a more current update - I just got off the phone with customer service at Skinny Cow. He stated that they label only if the top 8 allergen is present in the ingredients. They do NOT label for possible cross-contamination and their products are made on SHARED equipment. No labeling and shared equipment - we will stay away.
