Athens fillo
« on: May 28, 2012, 01:12:01 PM »
Has anyone used this or contacted the company?  They appear to mostly make fillo, but they at least have a spinach appetizer.

We only deal with PA.

We use Athens Fillo pastry sheets and shells to make appetizers and desserts.  It has been a while since I contacted them, but I was satisfied with the response I received at the time:

Hello, 
My son is severely allergic to milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts and
sesame.  Can you pleaes tell me if Athens Fillo Dough sheets or shells
contain any of these allergens?  Are these products manufactured or
packaged on the same equipment as products that contain any of these
allergens?  Thank you in advance for your prompt reply.

No, our fillo dough and shells do not contain any of those allergens. We
do, however, have those allergens in our facility, but they are in a
separate part of the plant and our fillo is not manufactured on the same
line as any of those allergens.

I asked them about nuts, milk, and egg and got a similar response this morning.  Yay!


The Fillo dough and Mini Shells are not processed with/on shared
equipment with nuts, milk, or eggs. You are safe from those allergens.
Thank you,

Hello,

Message: I was wondering whether the Fillo dough is on shared equipment
with nuts, milk or egg?  I was wondering the same thing for the mini
fillo shells.  Thank you for taking the time to answer my inquiry.
