Wine?!

I think it is the Chocolate Sundae or Hot Fudge Sundae flavor of Poptart that I saw with egg. It was the one flavor that DD saw in the store and asked to try. Just as well---she doesn't need that as part of her nutritional (yeah, right Smiley) intake.

Wegman's Wheat pizza dough has eggs. The white does not have eggs.

MANY candy-bars with fondant or nougat type-fillings have egg whites in them.

Junior mints are cross-contaminated with egg.

CM, you mentioned commercial grills & griddles... made me remember too to be careful of commercial fryers. We've stopped eating some places because we found pieces of batter (from onion rings,etc) mixed in with fries. It actually explained a couple of those mystery eczema flares and splotches when we finally figured it out. Sadly, we only have a handful of places that we ate at already. Smiley

Oh, and other unusual places we've had egg pop up lately... some microwave popcorn, cans of kidney beans, chocolate chips, and yeah, a big disappointment was the pop tarts.

Yes, wine, but not all of them. Usually the organic ones are clarified with clay.

Surimi

I noticed this last night when trying to find info about fish sticks. When the white fish is pulverized to make surimi (used for imitation crab meat) egg white is sometimes added.

According to the Wikipedia entry, dated for today's date:
Quote:

Depending on the desired texture and flavour of the surimi product, the gelatinous paste is mixed with differing proportions of additives such as starch, egg white, salt, vegetable oil, sorbitol, sugar, soy protein, and seasonings. If the surimi is to be packed and frozen, food-grade cryoprotectants also are added while the meat paste is being mixed

Hey, I'd rather eat clay (and no doubt have) that cryoprotectants any day my friend. Any day.

I'm thinking surimi really isn't going to be much of an issue for most of the kiddos here with egg allergy, but you never know . . . .

Actually, that was a VERY rude surprise to us when DD was about four.

She really likes crab and lobster.

Which is sort of a moot point now, :Smiley

....but then it was an unwelcome discovery.

ROFL, Momcat. Yum. Smiley I guess.google_ad_section_end -->

Wine in New Zealand has a warning label that egg may be used as a 'fining' agent in the wine. There is more information in the link for an article in the NZ Herald.

Smuckers Sundae Syrup (caramel flavoured) -- natural flavour from eggs. Should have read that label more closely. My son had some, didn't react, thankfully.

It's amazing how much stuff has egg in it. Our hardest thing was finding egg free dog food. Not that my son would eat the dog food, but he reacted if the dog ate then licked him.

Avoderm and Natural Balance both make high quality dog food which is both egg and nut free, Jenn.

Edit: I did see a may contain type of statement on Junior mints now(I was at KMArt today and looked). There is soya albumin as an ingredient. I guess I am ok with the possible trace deal for egg. Dd had a reaction to raw egg white only.

MAN! Daisy! I have to check my Ovaltine! DD has that all the time and loves it! However, I do not think her egg allergy is severe and she used to tolerate well-cooked eggs in a cake or banana bread. She only had a visible reaction to raw in icing.

So, I checked thoe Ovaltine. I do not see an egg ingredient I recognize. What is it? Maybe I do not know about a hidden egg thing in one of the "chemicals" in the ingredients?

Our allergist is very tight with the avoidance though. My friend's allergist(in the same practice as mine) lets her try well-cooked egg now and again in a cake or something with her ds.
