8th Continent Soymilk
« on: February 06, 2013, 09:50:30 AM »
Hives on dd's lips after opening a new carton.  Have been using for years, but this is the second time in a year that this has happened.  Resolved with Benadryl, but no more 8th Continent for us!

dd is milk, peanut and tree-nut allergic.

Ugh-- are you going to call it in?

Have any notion which allergen?  Probably milk, yes?

Well, I wouldn't be too quick on THAT one, either-- not without calling on it again.

DD says that in the past six months, the TJ's has consistently made her stomach hurt and made her nauseous.  Doesn't matter time of day or what else she has with it-- and as far as we know, she's got no problems with soy.

We've been meaning to call on that one, but my suspicion is that it's now sharing a line with a tree nut product somewhere.   :-[

Hopefully it's still on unshared lines.  :crossed:
