Tahini: some brands are safe!

Cedars - SAFE!!!! KRINOS FOODS - Thank you for your inquiry. We pack the Tahini at our facility and we do not handle any peanuts or tree nuts. However, we purchase Tahini in bulk from 2 different suppliers and cannot guarantee that their plants are not cross-contaminated. Our apologies.

Sesame King - SAFE!!!!  Made by Sunshine Foods (info@sunshinefood.com).  Sold in bulk via Amazon, and available in regular roasted and light roasted.  This company's entire business is sesame seeds.  No other seeds or top 8 allergens involved.  They own their facility and it's wholly dedicated to cleaning, roasting and grinding sesame seeds.  See response below:



Hello Uniqeladee,
Sorry for the delay in response. Our facility only processes sesame seeds and no other nuts are present in our facility .  I hope this helps.  Please let me know if I can assist your further.
Regards,
