SURPRISE! Unusual or Unexpected Peanut/Nut Sources

[admin rebekahc]

For the purposes of this list, we did not separate out peanuts and tree nuts because one is often contaminated with the other. Each allergic individual must decide for him or herself whether the items listed pose a risk WRT their individual allergy.

I hope you'll continue reading and contributing to our forum - welcome!

Someone just posed in my local food allergy group that some e-cigarette vapour 'juices' contain or may contain peanuts.

Sandblasting. Never would have thought of that.

So sad 

Sandblasting with walnut shells is actually listed on our master list (first post in this thread), but I had forgotten it was on there.  I need to periodically read that post as a refresher/reminder.

Oh my goodness. That is awful.

Land o' Lakes brand half and half and whipping cream.

Same for HORIZON brand organic.

Would guess due to almond milk poss xcontam?


Some discussion here:

Horizon Organic Half and Half

Bah!!!  OMG, I accept Xcontam in multi ingredient processed food, but this is really pissing me off.

I am 100% not surprised since almost all nondairy mills are made on shared lines with milk, the reverse must also be true.   

[ajasfolks2]

Holding my breath for other dairy products to be Xcontam --butter, regular milk, ice creams that are supposedly pnut/nut free.

Just feeling screwed at this point.
