Kashi labeling discloses potential cross-contamination.
All of our product packages have labeled the top eight potentially allergenic ingredients (i.e. peanut, tree nut, cow's milk, egg, soybean, wheat, fish and shellfish) in a separate box directly below the ingredient list on the Nutrition Facts side panel. Because product formulations can change at any time, we encourage our consumers to check the ingredient statement on each package they purchase for the most up-to-date information on the ingredients contained in that product.
Our production lines are thoroughly cleaned between allergen containing products and we follow good manufacturing practices. We have validated (through testing) our allergen cleaning processes in all of our facilities. We are very concerned about food allergies and want to ensure that our products are safe for food allergic consumers to eat. Scientific evidence has shown that consumers with peanut and tree nut allergies can have a severe reaction to amounts that are below the current detectable limits based on existing technology. For this reason, we have chosen to warn consumers allergic to peanuts and tree nuts of the potential for extremely low levels by using a may contain statement.
For all other top 8 allergens - if the product contains the allergen, it will be listed below the ingredient statement. If it is not listed below the ingredient statement, we are confident that the product is safe for consumption. Please trust the labeling and continue to check it for any changes.

Pizza
Costco - SAFE
Totino's Party Pizza (cheese) - safe
Little Caesar's - safe
Domino's - NOT SAFE if the ovens have been used for any "gourmet" items (like sandwiches) because they cant say the ingredients they used are safe (e.g. sauce, bread)
Uno's Pizzeria, 29 E. Ohio - UNSAFE BUT CAN MICROWAVE UP WHAT WE BRING, no nuts on menu, but desserts are made in facilities that handle peanuts and tree nuts and they have a small kitchen. Choc chip cookies are baked in the pizza oven. They can microwave a pizza we bring but cannot bake it in a sealed foil packet.
Pizzeria Due, 619 N Wabash, - UNSAFE BUT CAN BAKE WHAT WE BRING FOR $7 (price of the individual cheese pizza), no nuts on menu but desserts are made in facilities that handle peanuts and tree nuts. Choc chip cookies aer baked in the pizza oven. They can bake our pizza in sealed foil packet but will charge us as if we bought their personal cheese pizza.
Malnati's, 1120 North State Street - SAFE! Separate pizza and food line. No nuts on menu. YEA!

Brown's Chicken - NOT SAFE
My son was invited to a party where Brown's Chicken was the menu. Well, a call to Brown's Chicken hq was transferred several times and I had to conclude that they dont get this inquiry often, and that they don't really know who knows about their allergy practices. Finally, a customer service rep said that they cannot speak to allergy safety at all because their vendors are ever changing and they cannot represent their vendors' practices or ingredients. So we'll just skip all food from Brown's.
