Mezzo:
I found Lindt chocolate eggs on which the label says they contain milk and soya and may contain tree nuts. Too good to be true for PA? Or would you dare?

becca:
Mezzo, when we were in an actual Lindt store in February, the sales associate said that they were peanut, but not tree nut safe. Apparently they have discontinued making the peanut butter varieties. This was not helpful to us, but good for just PA. However, you may want to confirm with a call for yourself. I did not fact check against what he told me, because we also have TNA. Ds has no allergies and was buying some candy there.

I would be very cautious as every single Lindt chocolate product I have seen has a may contain peanuts warning. I believe they are manufactured in Europe. I know Dr. Vadas (an allergist at St Michael's Hospital) had tested Lindt products that did not have peanut warnings several years ago and actually found traces of peanut in them, so the company had to relabel all their products as may contain peanuts in Canada.

So I would just be very careful about Lindt. Perhaps things have changed? Maybe you can contact the corporate head office to verify

Found this on Reddit:

So, in my designated role as Easter Bunny aka mom, I hit up the grocery stores for suitable chocolate goodies for my twin sons. My boys are young and, as any parent of twins can attest, toys/treats pretty much have to be identical for each child, otherwise hell hath no fury. One of my sons has a peanut allergy, so I have to be careful in my selection.
So on this day, I found the choices definitely lacking. (Blame that on the Easter Bunny having procrastination issues.) At the second store, I finally found 2 Lindt Gold Bunnies. They were over $9 bucks apiece, but whatever...only a "may contain tree nuts" warning on the boxed cover so it's worth it.
Cut to Easter morning and both boys are very excited to get their baskets with the Gold Bunny as the chocolate centerpiece. They rip into them, and my son with the allergy diligently stops to read for peanuts (as he's been taught to do). Nothing on the outside box, so he tears into the bunny. He looks at the foiled wrapping (previously covered by the box) and sees at the bottom: MAY CONTAIN PEANUTS. Holy crap. He couldn't eat it, and he was CRUSHED. CRUSHED!! Easter Bunny felt like sh** and the day was just kind of shot.
Easter Bunny wrote a letter of complaint to Lindt for which they opted to completely ignore. Lindt Chocolate..how dare you stupidly disappoint a little boy on Easter morning.
Phew..okay..thanks for allowing me to rant...I obviously needed this since, it's been almost a month and I'm still holding a grudge.
