Has anyone heard more about NAFTA?  Again nut free logo but does that include peanuts or tree nuts?  And are they shooting sunshine at us by saying nut-free but much of the candy is cross contaminated.  I couldn't understand the last post.  Have a friend asking and not getting info from the company.

My wife just talked to the company about the Orbit Cookies Gingerbread house at Samsclub. The fondant and frosting are safe but the candy is not safe for nut allergies. The hard candy is tree nut free but not peanut free. The soft candy (gum drops) is not safe for either peanuts or tree nut allergies. If everything was safe, they would have put a nut free logo on the box.
Thank you. We've bought that one in the past and I wonder if it was unsafe then too. Luckily my dd doesn't seem to have contact reactions but I would have let them eat some of the candy if we thought it was safe.

I saw an Orbit Cookies train / gingerbread house at sams club. It didn't list any nuts but it also didn't say nut free. Oddly it says "nut free" in the description on the sams club website. I am going to give them a call to confirm. My store did not have the Nafta brand gingerbread house.

Edit: Well apparently orbit cookies is one of Nafta's brands. Their site says they're nut free.

Wonka had a house this year made in Canada that I bought at Toys R Us - it's on our kitchen table, DD did a nice job decorating.

I know there are others on here like us who are not allergic to peanut so for those folks...

I found a snoopy dog house gingerbread house kit (makes 4 dog houses) at Bed Bath and Beyond that had a peanut warning, but not tree nut warning.  I've thrown out the box now so I can't say what other allergens there were listed.  It was by Wild Baker.

Willy Wonka is supposed to be nut free - seeing those in Publix.

Read on the Nut Free Mom's facebook that Sam's Club has a Nafta brand gingerbread house that is safe. I have not seen or looked at it but I know in the past, they have had some safe gingerbread house kits.

I'm sooo excited!  I found a "Gingerbread Cottage Kit" at HyVee that has no peanut warnings, and does label for shared facility of other allergens.  The brand is Bee, and it has Tootsie Roll Midgees and Twisties, Double Bubble gum, Dots, Flower Power (gum?).  It's made in USA/Canada.  There was another variety, but it had Mrs. Fields cookies w/tree nut warning.  I haven't called about it, since it seems to have good labeling.

DD1 was so happy - all we've ever found before were Wilton's, so that was out.  Honestly, I didn't really mind not having this as one more thing to find time for over Christmas, but this time I'm looking forward to it.

I make my own.  It's not difficult, it's fun and the house smells great for weeks.  I use the gingerbread man recipe from vegan cookies take over your cookie jar and a template from Martha Stewart.  It's one of the best days of the year and dd loves it.

My kids used to love doing the foam projects, but I hate to just because of the fact that they DO last longer. I don't have room to store those things anymore. And you have to store them just so or they'll get smashed.

The manufacturer is Darice - I always find them at Michaels but Michaels is not behaving today :)  Have seen them at Hobby Lobby and Joanns as well (or something similar).  You can always pick up wood ready to decorate birdhouses and stickers as well :)
