Skinny Cow - SAFE

2016 - Skinny Cow has been purchased by Nestle, and for the most part is safe!  Labels are reliable - will disclose any risk of cross-contamination!  YEA!!!!!

2013 - For a more current update - I just got off the phone with customer service at Skinny Cow. He stated that they label only if the top 8 allergen is present in the ingredients. They do NOT label for possible cross-contamination and their products are made on SHARED equipment. No labeling and shared equipment - we will stay away.

Athenian room diner, Chicago -Not safe

The only nuts they cook with or walnuts, but they use breadcrumbs and lots of dishes (Terramousolata for example) and there taxi ki is made someplace else, so they do not feel anything on their menu is safe from potential nut cross-contamination
