Dates
SilverLining:
Anyone know of safe brands of dates? The two stores I checked have store brand only, and both have a nut warning.
Can they be purchased other than in a square package, and safe?

We have purchased Trader Joe's Medjool Dates in that sort of clamshell packaging.
Just as a quick look to find info, I did find this:

While that is for Chicago, the idea behind calling about the dates at your local Trader Joe's might give you the information you need to know if they have safe dates.
Dates are difficult though. I know a long time ago I tried to contact a company to direct order from but didn't get much helpful info. I kind of had to search around, and what I found really was a lot of dates are processed with nuts. Sometimes though, it is only one type of nut.... so.... if you aren't allergic to THAT particular nut, it might be okay. We are Tree Nuts in addition to Peanuts, so dates processed with pistachios or walnuts don't work for us.

I googled Trader Joe Canada. Got two in New York and one in BC.
Thank you for the info though. I guess I'll continue checking packages when I find them, but I won't be going out of my way.

We have had their dates and they are good. Really love their dried figs.

Thank you. They are even sold near me.
