This is very interesting since the company states that there is no peanuts or treenuts used in any of their products.  Any thoughts?

Yes, two:


a) contract production-- that is, Odwalla doesn't own their own production facilities for all products, and the contracting facility also runs product for OTHER manufacturers.


b) cross-contamination in a raw ingredient stream. 


I'm guessing it's the former, but only because the latter is likely to result in lower overall levels of XC in most instances, and this seems like a pretty big problem if there have been a lot of reactions, since MOST people with FA tolerate fairly high XC levels.  Silk soymilk is a case of the former, for example; it's on shared lines and XC is therefore a fluctuating level that's pretty much a constant background thing that occasionally spikes high enough to be problematic for a LOT of people

It's possible that it was a one-off kind of thing in the second cause, though. 

Resistance isn't futile.  It's voltage divided by current.

I thought they had some almond milk smoothies?  I could be wrong.  But I thought that was why I write them off.   But 4 serious reactions is bad.
