Nestle - Libby's: rely on labels

Thank you for contacting NESTLÉ® Baking Products.
Labeling regulations require that if any of the eight recognized known allergens, such as peanuts and tree nuts, are in the product, they must be listed in the ingredient statement. We always list the allergen by the common name.
Additionally, our factories, that use any of the recognized allergens as an ingredient, take all precautions to avoid cross contact of products that do not contain them. We always add a cautionary statement at the end of our packaging ingredient listing if a product is made on the same line or factory of those products containing a recognized allergen. It is recommended that you always check the label before purchasing a product.
We appreciate your interest and hope you will visit our website often for the latest information on our products and promotions.
Sincerely,
Nicole Matthews
Consumer Response Representative
Ref: N16233028
