Trader Joe's Allergen Info - rely on TJ brand labels - OUTDATED INFO

Thank you for contacting us again with your concerns. The information that was provided at the store to you is correct. If you do not see an allergen statement on a product then there are none of the eight major allergens present in the facility. If you see an allergen statement on the package and it does not list nuts then it is a nut free facility. For all products that are not Trader Joe's we ask that you contact the manufacturer as the allergen labeling is voluntary at Trader Joe's and
other companies may not list them on their packages. We will take your request for lists of this nature into consideration. Thank you for your inquiry and thank you for shopping at Trader Joe's .

Pepperidge Farm - rely on labels

Pepperidge Farm follows all government regulations regarding the labeling of our products. In the case of the top 8 allergens (peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, eggs, fish, wheat, soy and shellfish) we list those ingredients in the product ingredient statement, no matter how small the amount might be. We do not include any of those items under the broader listings of "spices" or "natural flavors" We recommend that consumers always check the ingredient statement and evaluate the product based on the statement.

We work hard to clean and sanitize production equipment to minimize the risk of cross contact with any allergens (e.g., peanuts). We use a "may contain" statement on any products when we feel, despite the application of good manufacturing practices, there is a small risk of cross contact. Our decision to use a "May Contain" statement is made on a product-by-product basis with the consumer's safety being the ultimate goal.

Thank you for visiting the Pepperidge Farm website.

Kraft - rely on their labels

For every ingredient that Kraft purchases, we require our suppliers to fill out an extensive questionnaire, which includes a complete list of allergens both directly added and indirectly added through cross contact within the supplier's manufacturing facility. We then develop the ingredient statements and allergy information statements that are declared on our labels based on our formulas, the allergen information we receive from our ingredient suppliers, and any unavoidable cross contact allergens that come from our own manufacturing facilities. We have thoroughly researched all possible sources of allergens and have appropriately declared them on our labels. If peanuts or tree nuts are included in our products, in any amount, it will be listed in the ingredient line. Please be aware that formulas may change and the best source of information is the ingredient line. We ask that our consumers take the time to check the ingredient line prior to purchasing a product. When labeling products, we consider all possible sources of the 8 major allergens recognized by the FDA. These are eggs, fish, shellfish, milk, peanuts, soy, tree nuts and wheat. Kraft labels for an additional 2 allergens such as seed, celery & also sulfites. Again, thanks for contacting us, and I hope you'll continue to enjoy our products.

Worldfoods - safe, at Cost Plus and MyBrands.com

Thank you for your email. Yes, all our products are free from peanuts and are manufactured in a facility that is peanut free as well. However, we do use coconut milk in our products (coconut has been classified as a tree nut by USFDA in Oct 2006). Hope to have kept you informed.
Warmest regards,Kwan

Update: Thank you for your continued interest in the WORLD FOODS products. Your inquiry was past on to us as we handle the USA sales and marketing of the WORLD FOODS product line. Yes it is still true that the WORLD FOODS products do not contain peanuts or tree nuts and are made in a nut-free manufacturing facility (except for coconut). Currently the only retailer in the Chicago market that carries the WORLD FOODS products is Cost Plus World Markets and My Brands.

Vege-Sal -- not safe

Because Vege-Sal is manufactured on the same equipment that also makes products containing peanuts, walnuts, and pecans we are not able to absolutely guarantee no contamination whatsoever even though we do a thorough cleaning and sterilization between runs to avoid any cross contamination.

We hope the above information is helpful to you. Thank you again for your interest in our products.

J. M. Smucker - rely on labels

This letter is in reference to your recent contact with The J.M. Smucker Company. We appreciate the time you have taken to contact us and most certainly enjoy hearing from consumers who enjoy our products.

In response to your comments, The J.M. Smucker Company labels for the top 8 allergens. Smucker's Jams, Jellies and Preserves are free of nuts. However, the best place to look is the ingredient statement as it will state "Contains" or "May Contain" if there are any of the top eight allergens in the product.

Again, thank you for taking the time to contact us. If you should have further questions or need additional information, please visit our website at www.smuckers.com or contact us at 888-550-9555, Monday – Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. EST.
