Pistachio pudding-jello brand
« on: November 20, 2012, 08:49:32 AM »
Is the Jello pistachio pudding made with real nuts or artificial flavor? I was making a pudding pie for Thanksgiving, but when I went to buy the chocolate pudding, the pistachio is right beside it! If it is unsafe can someone suggest another brand or a recipe for homemade? My son looks sooooo forward to this pie that I only make for holidays.

The pistachio flavor contains almonds and pistachios as well as artificial flavor.

I use Kozy Shack pudding.  It is premade and IMO tastes better than Jello brand.  It's easier also!

I only use it for recipes that call for pudding already made.  My pudding pie is simply a Keebler Graham Cracker crust, Kozy Shack pudding and Cool Whip...or if I have time, fresh whipped cream.  It is something I usually make when I have to make several different desserts because it so easy and everyone loves it.

Yes great value pudding mix just be sure to read the label.  The chocolate pudding is safe in my area.

Wait--I'm not understanding why you didn't buy the chocolate pudding.  Because it was next to the pistachio?

If you're concerned, wipe of the box before you get home with a Clorox wipe.

I do have a friend--from here--whose son had a rxn after eating Sunbutter (which he ate all the time and was not allergic to) because the outside somehow got cross contaminated with PB--from being handled.

When I buy pistachios and almonds (otherwise safe for my son) that are near peanuts, I just wipe the outside off with a clorox wipe.
Me: Sesame, shellfish, chamomile, sage
DS: Peanuts

I think the concern was with mfg. cross contamination - the boxes being next to eachother probably brought the possibility to mind.

I thought it was shared lines and ds is allergic to pistachios & almonds.i thought I read people had reactions to jello pudding. Have they always had pistachio flavored?

Hormel makes Giant brand. They break down machine and sanitize 3 times after each flavor. Nuts in warehouse!

I don't know about always, but they had pistachio when I was a child, over 40 years ago.  It could have gone away and come back, but I think they've always had it.  Just maybe not in every store.
