A lot of Walmart products (Great Value) have allergen warnngs on them. I contacted them to find out about their company policy, and clarify which allergens they label for. In other words does no written warning mean it's safe?
Apparently they have no company policy. No warning means call them with the product in hand so they can look it up for you. :tongue:
I explained that having the warning on SOME products will lead to people assuming that a product is safe if that warning isn't there. She said no, people know to call. :insane: I said no, not everyone is as paranoid as I am. She said in her experience people with food allergies do know to call. So, I asked her how many of the people that assume it's safe would call her. She agreed that was a good point and said she'd pass my concern on.
So, I guess I won't be buying Great Value products anymore. :-/
Edited to correct italics.
uggggh. :disappointed:
I'd call again before totally writing them off. If this part of what she told you wasn't accurate: She said no, people know to call. then maybe this part wasn't accurate either: No warning means call them with the product in hand so they can look it up for you.
Getting the answer I initially wanted will not make me trust them.
There are some great products at Walmart here with the pf symbol. I was hoping to buy some products for baking, but it's not worth the risk or mistrust just to save a few cents.
Better clarify that....the products with the pf symbol are Walmart, but not Great Value, and I do trust the products with the pf symbol.
