My DD has had what we thought was a reaction to a Wonka candy, too-- we no longer trust their labeling.

QuoteTyler's mom says his teacher even checked the candy's website and thought they were safe for him to eat.

The website states to read the package or there is a number to call. We do not allow teacher to make decisions of what is safe.

Once Wonka started labeling a lot of the candy with egg warnings, DS stopped eating things that we considered were once safe. We still allowed Fun Dip and DS ate 3 on Valentines Day.  ~) 

We have a large Pixie Stix in the cupboard that I will be throwing away today.

Something to consider - this could be a reaction to something on the wrapper. Most people end up sticking the outside of the wrapper into their mouths.  Pixy Stix are often repackaged in facilities that repackage nutty candies and could've gotten contaminated that way, and by whoever or whatever else touched the wrapper before giving it to him.  The only other thing I'm thinking is, the flavor has 'Maui' in it. Maui to me says tropical fruits, like kiwi or coconut, which could be a new (or just up until this point unknown) allergy for him.

Good  point.  And were there nuts at the party?  Were the hands of the person who distributed the pixie sticks clean or had that person just eaten trail mix or whatever?

My ds loves Pixie Stixs. Can't believe a reaction to Wonka. Glad the child is ok.

This is why we never allow DD to eat products that are repackaged.  I think it's Spangler or Tootsie that says on the their web site that only items packaged in their plants are safe.

Wonka keeps changing the manufacturing processes which affects DS1 moreso than DS2, so it's all banned in our house as a result.  I just don't trust them (many people are realizing after mystery gluten reactions that their processes changed prior to the labeling changes).
DS1 - Wheat, rye, barley and egg
DS2 - peanuts
DD -  tree nuts, soy and sunflower
Me - bananas, eggplant, many drugs

DD has had reactions to Wonka products.  We don't really trust them any more than we trust Kraft at this point, sad to say.   :-/
