Edy's Fruit Bars - shared equip that's cleaned and tested


Thank you for your email requesting nutritional information on Edy's® Fruit Bars. In an increasingly health-conscious society, we are always pleased to respond to our consumers' questions regarding our products.
Our facilities follow all federal and state regulations with regard to food and food safety. We do not use designated lines for products that contain known allergens, such as nuts and wheat. We do, however, thoroughly cleanse, sterilize and rinse every part of the machinery used in manufacturing, especially parts where any known food allergens come in contact.

The addition of "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts and nuts" is not considered mandatory by the FDA standards. If our vendors use this claim on the ingredients they supply us, we will include it on the packages containing that particular ingredient.
We hope that this information is useful to you and we appreciate your taking the time to contact our company to share your concerns.

Sincerely,

Andrew Sudnik
Consumer Response Representative
