Pillsbury/General Mills chocolate chip cookie dough in the tube

[Princess Cheese]

It reads safe, but it's so hard for me to trust something that has a PB flavor right next to it!

Have you tried calling them?


My understanding is that Pillsbury labels for shared lines, but I have not called on this product.

I don't use on a regular basis--I prefer to make mine from scratch.  BUt we have used that tube dough occasionally for years, never a problem for DS.

I called them and they said they take every single step to have it not come in contact with an allergen as long as the label reads safe.

I use the tube dough from GM/Pillsbury many, many times. I will typically end up cooking cookies for church events. I'm human and making 12 dozen batches of cookies from scratch--I cannot sign up for. I've called Pillsbury/Smuckers/GM. DS1 has eaten many, many times without issues.

Do be aware that the refrigerated cookie dough does *not* work well for making Hammentashen. They flatten and do not hold their shape around the filling. More like thumbprint cookies. The kids were happy anyhow.

They were successful and I'm being stingy with them 

Only thing is after I baked them (and ate a bite or two raw, I noticed they were one day past the expiration date - oops!)
