Hostess (parent) - Wonder Bread; Nature's Pride Breads - safe factories 09 and 55

Did you hear about the Hostess liquidation? Not only will we all be deprived of Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Ho-Ho's... but the tree nut/peanut allergy world loses Wonder Breads and Nature's Pride Breads... 2 of precious few "safe" bread brands. This happens on the heels of Sara Lee selling its bread division to the nut-contaminated Bimbo Bakeries. So, PLEASE support PEPPERIDGE FARMS as one of the last remaining breads I know that is safe for our family to eat!
Hostess owns Wonder Bread and Nature's Pride Bread.
They use peanuts in only 1 factory in their entire system, and it does not supply breads to Chicago area retailers.  There are 3 facilities that supply bread to the Chicago retailers - Factory 09, Factory 55 and Factory 62.  Walnuts are used in a snack product made in Factory 62.  Factory 09 and Factory 55 are safe from peanut or tree nut cross-contamination.  You can find the factory number under the "Best By" date on the package.
