Medjool Dates - MOST ARE NOT SAFE, but Trader Joe's is sometimes safe!

http://www.naturaldelights.com/
is the website for Bard Valley - Sorry but they process pistachios and almonds (and coconut) on the same equipment.

Dole Dates (pitted whole or chopped) are also processed in the same facility as many nuts.  

Trader Joe's has a hotline number you can call (or get the store to call) to verify if their current vendor for a particular product processes the product in a facility that also handles peanuts or tree nuts.  In Chicago, presently, the Medjool dates and the figs are processed in a facility that is free of any tree nut or peanut protein!
