Lifesavers
« on: April 29, 2013, 11:12:38 AM »
Apparently kids can't take standardized tests without FOOD.  You probably already knew that.  Dd's teacher wants to give out peppermint lifesavers tomorrow.  I called Wrigley and she immediately without pausing at all said there was no chance for cross-contamination with nuts, eggs or sesame.

Just wanted to see if anyone in here uses them?

Thanks!

We eat the green and the blue package life savers. 

Erik, I didn't realize your daughters list of allergens had grown so much.  sorry to hear that.
