HOT CHOCOLATE:  ConAgra's Swiss Miss
U.S. Consumer Affairs 1-877-CONAGRA (1-877-266-2472)
ConAgra's Swiss Miss has a general policy to label for potential cross-contamination.  Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate is generally safe, but you have to read the label for "May Contain" statements.  They have reliable labels and I have not encountered yet a "may contain" box, but we must check each time we buy.   

MARSHMALLOWS:  Kraft's Jet-Puffed Marshmallows
Consumer Representatives available at 1-877-535-5666
Kraft has a general policy to label for potential cross contamination.  Jet-Puffed Marshmallows are generally safe, but you have to read the label in case the bag happens to risk cross-contamination.  Check each time.
