We don't go near anything with a facility/equipment warning. I don't care how good their cleaning practices are! The only times I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt is when a company actually uses a lab to test for allergens, which is rare.Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581761828143139038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434787495961507027.post-31690069178630382602010-11-24T15:38:56.278-05:002010-11-24T15:38:56.278-05:00Libby, glad you found me!
