Didn't see this one in any of the archived threads...

Country Crock brand pre-made mashed potatoes in the refrigerated section of the grocery have egg as an ingredient.

Stupid me didn't check the label until I got home.  Fiancee and step-daughter thought they were gross and not as good as the brand that I normally buy when I'm feeling lazy though.

But really?  Eggs in mashed potatoes?  Why?

Ohhhhhh-- I bet it's an ingredient in the Simplesse/fat substitute in them, huh?

I would never have thought of that.

Here's one that we've run into with frustratingly increasing frequency-- DRY CAT FOODS.  It seems like most of the brands that we used to use now contain it.

Dug the container out of the trash...the egg (egg white lysozyme) is actually listed as part of an "antimicrobial blend".

Yum.

Lysozyme often shows up in cheese (usually hard European cheeses like Gran Padano).  It retards spoilage in cheese.

Just saw that Jewel Brand boxed Turkey Stuffing lists egg in parenthesis after 'natural flavor'.

Really surprised to have seen that one!

Smucker's Sundae Syrup - Caramel Flavored Syrup

Lists natural flavor from eggs. 

Really?  And for fun, a not so easy to read label.  Good thing DS1 refuses me on it every time I offer it (yes, I hang my head in shame for not reading for eggs more closely but being more concerned about wheat, rye or barley).

I'm pretty sure that the sugar free version does not have egg.  It's been a while since I purchased it and I'm not sure about wheat, etc.

It's possible that it has been a somewhat recent change, too-- because I know that DD has had that stuff in the past, and there is little possibility that we would have:  a) missed it on the label and b) gotten so lucky that low-threshold DD didn't react, either.

 That would have been during the period when touching plants which had been sprayed with deer repellent gave her hives-- after a heavy rain-- and when pasta on shared lines resulted in full-body hives.   So yeah, low threshold enough that this seems impossible to me.

Just checked their web site, and it must be a recent change.  I may even have noticed the change at the supermarket and just don't think of the product anymore because it's off our list KWIM?
 
I looks like they have two other caramel versions that do not have egg in them. (They're not fat free, though.)

I looked at Wegmans today... Looks like the squeeze version has egg.  All glass jars still read safe.

I use the Nestle La Lechera Brand Dulce de Leche in the squeeze bottle.  It's usually in the Mexican foods section.


It reads safe for the top 8, except for milk.  However, I am not that sensitive to egg, and not allergic to pn or tn at all.

I never would have expected egg to turn up in hard candy but we found egg listed in a lollipop. The brand name was Ozark - something.  Maybe Ozark Delight. (Got tossed before DS could get near it.)

Hi Rockvole and welcome!  :bye:

Since you appear to be a Commercial Member, I've placed a copy of our commercial member rules here for your information.

Quote
We welcome posts and links about products of value to the allergic community, and welcome clarification or answers offered by guests and members posting in an official capacity as representatives of particular businesses, organizations, or agencies.

Before posting about a product/service/business, please search the site and see if the product/service you'd like to discuss already has a thread started.  If so, please add your comments to that thread.  Moderators may merge, edit, or delete duplicate threads or links as needed.

There is a fine line between appropriate self-promotion and spam posting.  The following Rules will help to ensure acceptable commercial activity at FAS:

1.  Only ONE link to the product/service may be posted by persons affiliated with the product/service; the proper place for such a self-promotional thread is in the Commercial area of the forum.

2.  Do not serial post (repetitive posting of the same information) OR serial re-raise the thread about product/service.

3.  Members who register for promotional purposes may reply to other topics in areas outside of the Commercial section; however, those replies must be clearly relevant to the discussion and not self-promotional in nature.  Those replies may NOT contain links to your product/service!

4.  Regular Members may discuss products/services in any section of the forum where it is relevant (e.g. Manufacturers, Restaurants, Travel), but those posts must not be self-promotional in nature.
 
5.  It is acceptable and even encouraged to have a single, separate Commercial ID which reflects the name or nature of the business and is specifically for pthe urpose of professional/official posts, while maintaining a regular member user ID for personal use.  These Commercial members may not start threads about their product/service outside of a SINGLE thread in the Commercial section (see #1), AND they may NOT add links to a signature line.

6.  It is not permitted for any member or guest to misrepresent his/her affiliation with any business, organization, or agency.  Please see #4 above.

Commercial posting activity deemed to be inappropriate, excessive, abusive, or in violation of policy or these boards and its members will be removed, and offenders may have their account(s) banned from FAS.

The Admins and Committee Members are in no way affiliated with any promoted or linked products/services, and do not in any way endorse any products/services promoted or linked to within this Commercial section of our boards. Admins and Committee Members who have experience with or knowledge of the products/services may post reviews of a product/service; however, said testimonials or commentary should be viewed as a customer review and not an official endorsement or denouncement of the product by an Admin or Committee Member.
