Thank you for contacting us about New York Brand® Texas Garlic Toast.

Control of allergens is extremely important to T. Marzetti Company. There are a number of steps we take to assure allergens are controlled within our facilities. First, we identify on our label all of the major allergens as defined by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) according to their labeling requirements.

From a production standpoint, it is not always possible to have dedicated lines at our facilities that produce allergen-free or allergen-specific products. However, our trained associates do follow special handling and cleaning procedures to reduce the risk of cross contamination:

• Peanut and tree nut products are clearly identified and marked upon receipt in the facility.

• Any formulas using these allergens are also clearly identified. Formulas using these ingredients are scheduled at the end of a production run after allergen-free products have been produced.

• Our sanitation crews do a complete breakdown and detailed cleaning of the equipment after running products containing tree nuts or peanuts. The line is inspected and tested by our Quality Assurance department to assure the procedure has been followed and the line has been thoroughly cleaned.

We understand the challenges of managing a diet with allergen concerns and take pride in providing confidence to our consumers that we have an allergen control program that allows them to enjoy many of our products.

We hope this information is helpful. Thanks again for contacting us.

Sincerely,

Baking powder - not all safe?

I never thought about checking baking powder. But apparently clabber girl makes a point of disclosing that it is nut-free. So the next time I buy baking powder, I am going to look very closely!

"Our facility is peanut free, however we do manufacture products with tree nuts. These products (gelatins, puddings and cookies) are not manufactured in the same building as the baking powder and baking soda that we produce, so they are segregated.
Any and all baking powders produced by the Clabber Girl Corporation do not contain any spices, flavors or colorings. They do not contain any of the following commonly recognized sources of allergenic responses: milk, eggs, fish, crustacean, mollusks, tree nuts, wheat, barley, rye, peanuts, and soybeans. Examples of the food products most commonly known to cause allergic reactions as stated above, are not present in any of the ingredients which are in any of the baking powder formulas produced by the Clabber Girl Corporation, corn starch, bicarbonate of soda, sodium aluminum sulfate, acid phosphate of calcium."

LEGOLAND FLORIDA - none of the food is nut-safe!

Thank you for your interest in LEGOLAND Florida. We can not guarantee no cross contamination. You are welcome to bring your own food with you to the park if that would make it easier for you. However we do not allow roll around coolers into the park.

We look forward to seeing you and your family soon.

Hi - I'd like to use your whole dried pitted apricots this weekend but need to know if they are safe for me.  I'm allergic to tree nuts and peanuts.  Do your apricots have a risk of cross-contamination by any particles of tree nut or peanut protein?  Thanks, I really need to know asap!
