Dream Dinners (dream dinners.com) - not safe enough

I talked with Barb, the Back of House Manager, and Amanda, the Community Events Manager about your family's situation. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the amount of precaution needed is taken. After a little research, we found that many of our foods are processed in plants that also process peanuts and/or tree nuts. 

I appreciate your interest and concern. I hope that I have been helpful. Please, feel free to contact me with any other questions.


Best Wishes,

HyVee candy - not safe

Palmer Candy Company of Sioux City, IA is recalling 102 cases of HyVee Chocolate Caramel Clusters and 90 cases HyVee Chocolate Covered Caramels because they may contain undeclared peanuts. People who have an allergy to peanuts run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

Standard Market restaurant - NOT SAFE

Thank you for your note. While we do our best to avoid cross-contamination, we do use peanuts and tree nuts in the food made in the Bakery, Deli, and at the Grill, and we cannot guarantee that the surfaces the food is prepared on are entirely nut-free.

We do, however, carry a variety of nut-free Pantry products that have been prepared in nut-free kitchens, including Don't Go Nuts Soy Nut Butter, Dr. Lucy's cookies, and others.
