I guess I won't be using the batch of ice cream I just made for Thanksgiving, because Horizon Organic Half and Half now contains a shared facility warning for Tree Nuts and Soy. Good thing I caught that teeny-tiny print as I was putting the carton away, because I didn't check it in the store. I've been using it forever. My bad. :hiding:

I have to say my blood pressure meds are being put to the test this week. Mother-Forker. :rant: :paddle: :toothbrush: :bonking:

GoingNuts:
I emailed them and asked them that if it is absolutely necesssary to Xcontaminate an item that should be perfectly safe, could they please label it in a way that doesn't require a spotlight and a magnifying glass? (OK, I wasn't quite so snarky in my email, but maybe I should have been. :evil:)

I'm looking forward to their reply.

Here’s their non-response:

Hi Amy,

Thanks for getting in touch—and for your commitment to knowing what’s in your food!

At this time we don’t have dedicated lines for our products. Our products are manufactured at many different facilities throughout the United States, because of this we cannot guarantee certain ingredients, such as tree nuts, are not being stored at each facility.

However, we take allergenic food concerns seriously and have instituted allergen control programs at each facility manufacturing our products. Our allergen control programs consist of several components, designed to comprehensively address allergenic food concerns at multiple points of production.

We know you're trying to make the best decision for you and your family, and we don’t take that lightly. Because we know this is such an important consideration for you, we are not comfortable providing information that could change without notice as we shift production among our facilities.

We really appreciate hearing from you —your questions help us understand what matters most to the families who count on Horizon.

If you have any additional questions please feel free to reply to this email.

From our family to yours,

John & the Horizon Team
Ref: Y2297088

Though I truly wonder how many milk products are made on shared lines with tree nuts and soy and not labelled as such. Considering almost all non-dairy milks are made in shared facilities with milk, I bet there is a high probability of other milk products having a cc risk.

Just throwing that out there.
