Streit Kosher Foods - bag in a box mixes are safe!

We make macaroons and use coconut and tree nuts.  However, that is done on a
separate line in a separate room and no nuts are used on the equipment we
use to make the cake mixes and all our other bag in a box mixes.  The
production supervisor is very careful about allergens and there is no chance
of cross contamination.

WONKA non-chocolate candies are SAFE

Laffy Taffy
Nerds
Sweet Tarts
Pixy Stix
Spree
Bottle Caps
Runts

Per Wonka (division of Nestle) these candies are not made in facilities that also process foods containing peanuts and tree nuts.  Wonka makes other candies that are not made in dedicated nut free facilities.  Also, Wonka will put a cross-contamination warning on risky candies, but only on the package you buy, not on each individual piece (e.g. Fun Size pieces).
