I checked with Amrita and here is what they had to say:<br /><br />"On all our packaging we very clearly say that these bars are made in a facility that makes foods with nuts and gluten. Our ingredients are free of the peanuts/treenuts (except for coconut)/gluten/soy/dairy/eggs/ and are non-gmo certified, kosher and they are raw. <br /><br />The facility follows strict guidance around equipment cleanliness - but I always tell people that it is a facility that co-packs so there is always a risk."<br /><br />I have updated the post accordingly.<br />Colettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08246719800332561032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434787495961507027.post-10411580274994897762015-10-03T21:37:32.382-04:002015-10-03T21:37:32.382-04:00I was very upset to find a nut warning on these ba...I was very upset to find a nut warning on these bars after I purchased them for my son who has a serious allergy to peanuts. I chose these bars specifically because they are being marketed as an allergy friendly food. I called the company and spoke to someone who informed me that the bars are in fact packaged in a plant where nuts of all kinds are present. He indicated that the bars are not really intended for people with serious food allergies. Instead they are more of a "school safe" product for those children who cannot bring nut products to school but who are not truly allergic themselves. I was told (by Amrita) that my son should not eat these if he has an anaphylactic type of allergy and carries an epi pen. Please do not recommend these bars.Allergy momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10779044922155947804noreply@blogger.com
